Download Test protocol land-based tests including QA/QC

Abstract
This project plan for the testing of the Cathelco Ballast Water Treatment System consists of
the following sections:
1.
Quality Management Plan (QMP)
2.
Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP)
3.
Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
The Quality Management Program (QMP) addresses the quality control management
structure and policies of the test facility.
The Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) in section 2 is the project-specific technical
document reflecting the specifics of the test facility, the BWTS tested, and other conditions
affecting the actual design and implementation of the required experiments. The QAPP
consists of general information, information on the NIOZ test facility and the Cathelco
BWTS, test water quality, sampling and sample storing, the measurement of variables and
QA/QC.
Detailed Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for each of the analyses are provided in
section 3.
This is the second version of the project plan. The first version contained information for
intermediate and high salinity range testing only. This new version includes information on
freshwater testing scheduled for autumn 2012 and is split in the three sections outlined
above.
