Water Treatment Expert Witness
We provide litigation support and Expert Witness testimony to law firms and insurance companies as Expert Witnesses in matters involving:
- Claims resulting from component or system failures involving water chemistry and water treatment in steam plant (boilers) and cooling water systems
- Piping or tubing failures due to corrosion (including flow accelerated corrosion/FAC) and other metallurgical factors
- Improper water system startup and layover in steam (boiler) plants and cooling systems from new construction or renovation/upgrades
- Legionnaire’s Disease
We have experience in most kinds of boiler systems, cooling towers, water preparation plants (reverse osmosis, nanofiltration, etc.), once-through systems, process water, heat exchangers, and commercial and institutional potable water systems. We investigate and can define the root cause(s) of failures, and have experience helping our clients develop solutions to avoid similar failures from recurring. We advise clients on industrial water treatment technologies while providing a range of consulting services related to water testing & analysis interpretation.
