1.CHOICE OF THE INSTALLATION AND OF THE DOSING PUMP ACCORDING WORKING CONDITIONS AND NEEDS : MAIN FLOW, WORKING TIME PER DAY, RESIDUAL CHLORINE,
2.ADJUSTMENT OF THE BY-PASS FLOW IF ANY
3.CHOICE OF DOSING RATE IN THE RANGE OF THE DOSING PUMP
4.CHECK IF THE CONCENTRATION OF ACTIVE CHLORINE IN STOCK SOLUTION IS RESPECTING THE LIMIT OF 1 gr./L.
5.CALCUL OF THE STOCK SOLUTION VOLUME
6.CALCUL OF THE ORIGINAL CHLORINE WEIGHT IN THE STOCK SOLUTION
7.ESTIMATION OF THE DOSING PUMPS LIFE TIME
SOME TIPS:
The METHODOLOGY
Parameters for a good chlorination (WHO Recommendations)
- The pH : < 8
- The % of residual chlorine : 0.3 to 0.5 mg/L
- The contact time : 30 minutes
- The quality of the water at origin with low turbidity <1UNT (but never over 5UNT), and without ? Escherichia Coli ? and ? Total Coliforms ?, to be tested in 100ml.
- The temperature not too low.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENT (WHO Recommendations)
- Easy Installation & Easy Maintenance
- Water flow between 200 L/H and 200 m3/L
- Proportional Dosing Dispenser.
- Adjustable dosing rate with minimum 0.2 mg/l injection.
- Repeatable Dosing whatever the variation of flow and the turbidity.
- Chlorine concentration: 0.5 at 2 mg/l.
- Reservoir to allow minimum 30 min. contact.
The life of the chlorine dispenser will depend of the volume of water to be treated per day. In the Dosatrons Calculation excel sheet, the estimated life is shown according project details.
For chlorination calculations, please refer to the Dosatrons calculation excel sheet, available upon request.
- The ratio of main to bypass flow (max 5 units through the main flow for every 1 unit through the bypass).
- Dosing rate set on the Dosatron unit (0.2-2% for the D20SAFKPOT).
- Stock solution strength (not over 1 gr. of active chlorine per litre of water).
Final concentration of the chemical in drinking water depends upon:
This dosing kit can be used to treat water with chlorine, aluminium sulphate, sodium or calcium hypochlorite...
