Prove the performance of the fluid treatment before you invest. PRAB’s FREE Fluid Testing Program* evaluates your actual process fluids, coolants, and wastewater in our lab to validate treatment results, equipment suitability, and compliance outcomes—before capital is committed.
This program is specifically designed to test fluid treatment performance, not metal chip processing behavior.
Fluid composition varies dramatically between plants, machines, and processes. Emulsions, tramp oils, surfactants, detergents, dissolved metals, and additives all affect treatment results.
Our fluid testing eliminates uncertainty by showing how your specific fluids respond to PRAB’s filtration, separation, and treatment technologies—before you buy.
Unlike materials testing (which evaluates metal chips, swarf, and coolant separation from solids), the fluid testing program targets liquid-phase treatment performance for:
We evaluate your actual fluids using PRAB equipment platforms such as:

Your fluids are processed under controlled, real-world conditions to generate measured, documented performance data, including:
These results help engineers, environmental managers, and CFOs:
PRAB offers two distinct “Test Before You Buy” programs:
• Evaluates metal chips, swarf, and entrained coolant
• Focuses on chip processing, moisture reduction, briquetting, and coolant recovery from solids
• Produces results like residual moisture, volume reduction, and briquette density
Fluid Testing (this program)
• Evaluates liquid-phase fluids, coolants, and wastewater
• Focuses on filtration, separation, treatment quality, and compliance performance
• Produces results like oil separation efficiency, turbidity reduction, and permeate quality
This program is solely for fluid treatment validation, not solid-material processing.
This fluid-centric testing allows you to:
By focusing on how liquids behave in filtration and treatment systems, this program provides precise, application-specific data that directly informs equipment selection and compliance strategy.
Submit a sample of your actual coolant, process water, or wastewater. PRAB’s engineers will test it using our treatment technologies and provide documented results to guide your system design.
Client covers shipping to and from PRAB’s testing facility.
*Standard Testing Is Free — Certain Specialized Tests Require Quotation
PRAB’s Test Before You Buy program includes FREE standard materials testing and FREE standard fluid testing using PRAB-owned laboratory equipment and established test protocols.
However, some specialized evaluations require paid engagement. These include:
In these cases, PRAB will always provide a formal quotation for approval before any materials or fluids are shipped to our facility.
No testing proceeds without written authorization.
