<strong>Water</strong> Treatment Calculations 387<br />

Now calculate the chlorine, lb, required:<br />

Example 10.105<br />

Chlorine, lb (chlorine, mgL)(volume, MG)(8.34 lbgal) (48 mgL)(0.008221<br />

MG)(8.34 lbgal) 3.3 lb<br />

Problem:<br />

A chlorinator setting is 30 lb/24 h. If the fl ow being chlorinated is 1.25 MGD, what is the chlorine dosage<br />

expressed in mg/L?<br />

Solution:<br />

Example 10.106<br />

Chlorine, lbday ( chlorine, mgL)(flow, MGD)( 8.34 lbgal) 30<br />

lbd ( x mgL) flow (MGD) 8.34 lbgal 30<br />

x <br />

(1.25)(8.34)<br />

x 2.9 mgL Problem:<br />

A fl ow <strong>of</strong> 1600 gpm is to be chlorinated. At a chlorinator setting <strong>of</strong> 48 lb per 24 h, what would be the<br />

chlorine dosage in mg/L?<br />

Solution:<br />

Convert the gpm fl ow rate into MGD fl ow rate:<br />

Calculate the chlorine dosage in mg/L:<br />

(1600 gpm)(1440 minday) 2,304,000<br />

gpd<br />

2.304 MGD<br />

Chlorine (lbday) chlorine (mgL) flow<br />

(MGD)<br />

( x mgL)(2.304 MGD)(8.34<br />

lbgal) 48 lbday 48<br />

x <br />

(2.304)(8.34)<br />

x<br />

2.5 mgL
