Thanks for the info. I've heard of root-x but was told by the contractor that cleans our lines that it didn't work.Imagine that. Would the velosity of the water inhibit the root-x from working? Is there a contact time for the chemical to be effective?
Is there any effective products on the market to prevent roots from obstructing sewer mains thus causing sewer back-ups that can potentially lead to overflows. Our present "fix" is to pressure clean, televise, and root cut the problem area which is fairly expensive.
A small 20,000 gpd package plant DMR states that we must have a .023mg/L chlorine residaul at the final effluent in order to comply with our permit. However, we have no instrumentation that will register this minute amount. It's not feasible at this point to spend $2500-3000 for a...
A possible, inexpensive alternative to Sr. for filter precoating may be bentonite clay. It cost $.12/lb and is readily available. Contact Cetco-Hydron at 1-800-721-3006 for more info.
ATP is an organic phosphate. The analysis of phosphate depends on the pretreatment of the sample.The simplest analysis is reaction of the sample with molybdate to form a phosphomolybdate that can be determined colorimetrically.As for the RAL's ( recordable allowable limits ) 4800-5100ppm does...
