4.0.0 REAGENT DOSAGE

4.1.0 DOSAGE OF FERRIC CHLORIDE

o

Flow calculation: 96.17 m3/h

Density of solution: 1,49 Kg/l
Density of pure reagent: 2,80 Kg/l
Maximum dose: 2 ppm (mg/l)
Wealth: 40%
With this data, the dosing load and the commercial dosage required are calculated, in order to
know the requirements of the tank for 10 days and the annual reagent requirements.

Dosing load:
Caudal (96.17 m3/h) * Dose (2 g/m3) = 0.192 Kg/h
Commercial dosing:
Dosinf load 0.192 (Kg pure/h) * 1/2,8 (l pure/Kg pure) * (100/40)(l disol./l pure) = 0.172 l/h
Kg of commecial product:
Commercial Dosing (l/h)* Density of solution (Kg/l) = 0.256 Kg/h
10 Day deposit:
Comercial dose (0.172 l/h) * shock (24h/day) * Das (10)= 41.215 lt

CALCULATION MEMORY SHEET

Annual need for reagent:
Commercial Dosing (0.256 Kg/h)*crash (24h/d)*365 days = 2241.465 Kg

4.2.0 SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE DOSAGE

Flow calculation: 96.17 m3/h

Density of solution: 1,24 Kg/l
Dosis mxima: 5 ppm (mg/l)
crash: 6 h
Wealth: 120 g/l

With this data, as with ferric chloride and other reagents, the dosing load and the necessary
commercial dosage are calculated, and then the requirements of the 10-day deposit and the
annual reagent requirements are calculated
Dosing load:
Caudal(96.17 m3/h) * Dose (5 g/m3) = 0.480 Kg/h
Comercial dosing:
Dosing load 0.477 (Kg /h) / Wealth 120 (g/l)= 4.01 l/h
Kg of commercial product:
Commercial dosing (l/h)* density (Kg/l) = 4.968 Kg/h
10 Day deposit:
Commercial dosing (3.98 l/h) * crash (6h/day) * Days(10)= 240.42 lt
Annual need for reagent:
Commercial Dosing (4.968 Kg/h)*crash (6h/d)*365 days = 10881.4246 Kg

Density of solution: 1,84 Kg/l
Density of pure reagent: 1,84 Kg/l
crash: 6h
Maximum dose: 20 ppm (mg/l)
Wealth: 98%
The dosing load and the necessary commercial dosage are calculated, in order to know the
requirements of the tank for 10 days and the annual reagent requirements.

Dosing load:
Caudal (95.44 m3/h) * Dose (20 g/m3) = 1.9088 Kg/h
commercial dosing:
3.718 (Kg puro/h) * 1/1,84 (l puro/Kg pure) * (100/98)(l disol./l pure) = 1.0585 l/h

the tank for 3 days and the annual reagent requirements will be known.
Dosing load:
Caudal (84.04 m3/h) * Dose (20 g/m3) = 0.84 Kg/h
Commercial dosing:
