Preparation of Calcium Bromide Based Solutions Using Solid
94% CaCl 2 and Liquid 14.2 lbm/gal CaBr 2
To prepare 10 bbl of 13.0 lb m /gal CaBr 2 from minimum 94% solid CaCl 2 and 14.2 lb m /gal liquid
CaBr 2 :
Add 10 × 160.1 = 1600 lbs of solid CaCl 2 to 10 × 0.35 = 3.5 bbl of 14.2 lb m /gal CaBr 2 and 10 ×
0.50 = 5.0 bbl of fresh water.
