Difference between Sodium Metabisulfite and Sodium Bisulfite? SMBS is commonly used for removal of free chlorine and as a biostatic. Other chemical reducing agents exist (e.g., sulfur dioxide), but they are not as cost-effective as SMBS. When dissolved in water, sodium bisulfite (SBS) is formed from SMBS:
Na2S2O5 (sodium metabisulfite) + H2O –> [....]
Before to Calculate the capacity of the Water Softener (softening) Plant, to choose how much water to be softened. In this case, 100M3 to be softened at 400 ppm of Feed Hardness to 5 ppm.
How to Calculate the resin capacity?
The Resin Exchange Capacity is mention into the product’s supplier Data Sheet*.
Normally cationic exchange capacity : 55/liter of [....]
What is Disinfection?Disinfection is a process to destroy disease-causing organisms, or pathogens. Disinfection of water can be done by boiling the water, ultraviolet radiation, and chemical inactivation of the pathogen.
In the water treatment processes, pathogens and other organisms can be partly physically eliminated through coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, and filtration, in addition to the natural die-off. After filtration, to [....]
Determination of volatile matter reduction in sludge is complicated because of the changes occurring during sludge digestion.
The calculation used to determine percent volatile matter (VM) reduction is
[%VMin – %VMout] X100
% of Volatile Matter Reduction (VM) = ——————————-
[%VMin – (%VMin X % VMout)]
Using the digester data provided below, Determine [....]
In connection with previous post. let we see, why? hypochlorite consumption is always higher than that chlorine gas consumption.this is very simple calculation involves.
Generally the hypochlorite is hazardous than chlorine it is similar to strong bleach and available in two forms one is Dry HTH second as Liquid Sodium Hypochlorite.
In HTH forms the available chlorine normally about [....]
Yes, Hypochlorite better than Chlorine Gas, the Chlorine is a powerful oxidizer commonly used in water treatment for purification and disinfection, odor control, bulking control, and other applications.
Why hypochlorite is overcome with chlorine?
This is two main reason
First, In Safety point of view, the chlorine gas is the passage of stricter hazardous chemicals regulations under the Occupational Safety [....]
