Chemical Dosing

Chemical Dosing

Chemical Dosing

(OP)
Could someone direct me to a good reference (on the net) for calculating concentrations of solutions/slurries. For example if you are to add 5%(by weight) of lime to water, is there a way to calculate the resulting concentration of lime in the slurry/solution without actually taking field measurements?

RE: Chemical Dosing

I have a ground water bore that has a high concentration of iron (40ppm) Manganese 2ppm Magnesium 10ppm and H2S.  With pH adjustment and aeration I can get the majority of the contaminents out.

I am looking for various methods of removing the flock with a continuos feed period of approx 12-14hrs.  100,000 litres required per 24 hrs

I have been informed that the use of upflow clarifiers can have problems with temperature differential.

I will utilse the water in a fish farm and the minimal use of chemicals is of desire.

Thanks
