Jim Davis Meeting: Water Treatment Calculations

The document provides information to calculate: 1) The amount of precipitate formed and alkalinity consumed from adding 68 mg/L of copperas. It calculates 0.0435 g/L of precipitate and 24.4736 mg/L of alkalinity consumed as CaCO3. 2) The alum dosage, mass of solids removed, and alkalinity consumed for treating 14.5 MGD of water with 650 mg/L TSS. It calculates 4910.5395 kg/day of alum, 569787.066 kg of solids removed, and 42.9293 mg/L of alkalinity consumed as CaCO3. 3) The amount of
