Bimr, Blending sounds like a good option. By the way, I am looking at this problem from an overall qa/qc point of view of possible treatment options, but I am not entirely familiar with the some of the units. I am familiar with conductivy units as micromhos/cm, but have not heard of mmhoms...

Thanks bimr, With this feedwater, isn't the sodium and chloride content sufficiently low enough?

I am looking at a system that will treat 10 gpm of water from a well with the following characteristics: pH = 7.4 Conductivity = 700 micromhos/cm TDS = 340 mg/l Alk = 202 mg/l Total Hardness = 191 mg/l Chloride = 20 mg/l Sulfates = 120 mg/l Nitrates = 1.3 mg/l Calcium = 18 mg/l Sodium = 13.5...

Hi, Feedwater from wells is to be treated and used as potable water, with a portion to be used as feedstock for laundry boilers. A feedwater analysis came back with: (all are in mg/l) TDS = 290 Hardness (as CaCO3) = 240 chloride = 37 silica = 8 sulfate = 5.44 calcium = 90 magnesium = 5.4...

Thanks for the info...IMO is apparently under Colfax.

Help, Anyone know if the De Laval screw pumps are still being manufactured under another name? Thanks!

bimr, I tried searchig for the topic before posting, but could not find it...for this particular topic, how should I have searched for it? Thanks!

Help, I am trying to make sense of calculations for a potable water treatment plant. The following are particulars listed for the plant: Raw water flow rate = 1,600,000 gpd Polymer dosing rate = 2 mg/l Polymer solution = 0.5% TSS solution. Polymer required = 26.7 lb/day Without...
