3.0 THEORY OF OPERATION
In a liquid form, water molecules move around each other at a fast rate. One effect of this fast
movement is the ability to suspend matter. This phenomenon is called “Brownian Motion”. It occurs
when microscopic particles are maintained dispersed in suspension due to their random
bombardment by the fast movement of water molecules. Typical particles found in raw water
entering WTP have finely divided clay particles and organic matter collectively called silt.

A second phenomenon which stabilizes the suspension is the surface charge of the suspended
matter. When a salt such as sodium chloride is place in water, complete dissolution occurs. This
system reaches a stable energy level when the individual sodium and chloride ions (Na+ and Cl-) are
separated in the water phase by being surrounded by water molecules.

In the case of large pseudo salts, e.g. Aluminosilicates (clay), only partial dissolution takes place due
to incomplete breakdown of the crystal to individual ions. The structure of these clays is similar to
silica or sand except that random silicon atoms in the crystal are replaced by aluminum atoms in the
cage structure, causing the clay to swell and crack between adjacent aluminum atoms in the crystal.
Thus a clay particle is formed with a size of less than 1 micron with a negative charge. This particle is
small enough to be maintained in suspension by Brownian Motion. The particles in the suspension
repel each other due to their surface charge, preventing them from coming together and
agglomerating, or flocking to form a larger particle, which would settle out. The result is an
energetically stable system and is the reason why the particles remain dispersed.

The counter ions (say sodium for the sake of argument) are separated from the large cage structure
because they are dissolved in the water. Clay particles have a negative charge associated with it,
while the counter ions, typically cat-ions (or positively charged ions) are dispersed in the water
phase.

In the case of most naturally occurring substances, the larger ion, when in suspension, has a negative
net charge (anionic). The smaller, counter ion is positive (cationic). The residual charge of the larger
particles is negative, which causes them to repel each other, preventing them from forming
agglomerates. The size of the particles never becomes large enough to settle out, so they remain
dispersed in suspension.

This phenomenon creates an energetically stable system. In order to cause the suspended particles
to agglomerate and settle out, the energy of the system must be upset. There are numerous
mechanical means to accomplish this, but the addition of chemical flocking agents to the suspension,
drastically reduces the time and is far more efficient.

Chemical additives perform two functions, charge neutralization & bridging. Both of these techniques
allow the small particles to floc and grow sufficiently that Brownian motion can no longer support
them. Due to the high density of the particle, flocs will form and settle as fine sludge.

Figure 1: Effects of Chemicals

3.1 TREATMENT OF WATER FOR CLARIFICATION

Most water treatment chemicals consist of a cationic (positively charged) chemical e.g. aluminum
salts, ferric salts, polyamines or cationic polyacrylamides, some of which have the cationic part
tagged on to a long polymer chain. As stated earlier, raw water entering the WTP is an energetically
stable system of suspended particles with a net negative charge. Cationic chemicals are added to
bring the charge to neutral.

Before the development of Streaming Current technology, the best way to determine the optimum
dosage has been the jar test method. The jar test involves taking a representative sample of the
water being treated and placing it in several jars. Different amounts of clarifying chemicals are added
to each jar; stirred and comparing the clarity of the water in the different jars. Jar tests are time
consuming and it is difficult to reproduce the conditions of the WTP in a jar. The tests can take
several hours rendering them useless when plant personnel are really responding to rapid changes in
water quality. A typical curve of Turbidity vs. Chemical dosage is shown in Figure 3.
Some considerations when treating the water are the rate of floc formation, the size of the floc
formed, how fast the floc settles, and the clarity of the final settled and filtered water.

P age |7
 Other techniques exist, such as a dosing curve, which indicates a recommended dosage for a given
water turbidity. This is generally built up over years of dosing experience with the water, but has the
disadvantage that turbidity caused by extremely small particles requires a higher dosage than that
caused by larger particles, and therefore can only be adapted for use with known type turbidity on
any given water.

3.2 CHARGE ANALYSIS

Charge analysis is the measurement of the electro kinetic charge of a solution due to the presence of
charged particles. The electro kinetic charge can be measured by a number of different methods.

1. Applied electric field

Measurement: The relative mobility of the solid or liquid phase.

This is the first method developed for calculating the Zeta Potential. The motion of charged particles
under the influence of an electric field was observed and the potential required to achieve a certain
amount of particle mobility was measured.

A cell consisting of two flat plates separated by approximately 0.1 mm and having an electrode at
each end of the cell is filled with water containing suspended matter. When an electrical potential is
applied to the electrodes, the particles can be observed to drift toward one of the electrodes. The
Zeta Potential is calculated from the measured speed of particle drift.

P age |8
2. Induced Electrical Potential
Measurement: The potential developed as the result of forced movement of particles in the solution.
This is the method used by the CHEMCHLOR®- SCM. Continuous sample water is directed into an
annulus, inside which a displacement piston oscillates vertically at a fixed frequency. This action
causes the liquid to move between the two stainless steel electrodes. The suspended particles are
absorbed onto the walls under the action of Van der Waal’s and electrostatic forces. As the sample is
moved rapidly back and forth, mobile counter ions surrounding the colloids are sheared near the
surface of the walls and moved past the electrodes. The resultant A.C. signal or Streaming Current,
proportional to charge density, is electronically processed and displayed.

P age |9
4.0 INSTALLATION
4.1 SAMPLING POINT

Careful consideration must be given to where in the system the sample will be taken. The
CHEMCHLOR SCM requires sampling of the coagulated water (sample after introduction of coagulant)
and sometimes where pre-pH adjustment is completed. It is critical that sample point should be at
least 10 pipe diameters away from the dosing point to ensure ample mixing.

Equally important is the lag time from when a change in dosage occurs to when it shows up at the
sensor. If the lag time is too long the control of loop will not be possible. A lag time not greater than
10 minutes is recommended.

4.2 TYPICAL INSTALLATION

Raw Water Coagulation Flocculation Clarifier

Coagulant
Tank

P a g e | 10
 The sampling water (coagulated water) shall be connected to the sample chamber at the flow rate of
600 to 800 LPH. Run the flow close to maximum as possible without overflowing the sample box and
then adjust the drain valve to drain off large particles while ensure sensor is always immersed in the
sample water. Low level of sample will activate the sampling pot low level alarm.

The sample flow must be free of large shells or other debris that might clog the orifices or damage to
the sensor.

Note: The sample flow must be free of large shells or other debris that might clog the orifices or
cause damage to the sensor. Supplying an adequate flow free of debris is the responsibility
of the installer.

Drains MUST be routed to a suitable drain. DO NOT reintroduce this water back into the
process stream.

4.3 POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

Insufficient voltage from factory power source may affect the power output of the motor and the
function of the controller. It is important to connect this machine to the correct voltage in the factory
power source. Use only an independent power source. Table for power supplies requirement:

Model Voltage Current Breaker capacity

CHEMCHLOR® E-20 100 - 240V 13 A 40 A

CHEMCHLOR® EX-10 100 - 240V 13 A 40 A

Note: Only qualified electricians should be allowed to perform the installation

of the instrument as it involves a line voltage that could endanger life.

5.0 OPERATION AND SETTINGS
The CHEMCHLOR SCM system consists of three major components, the Sensor, the Sampling
Chamber, and the Touch Screen Control Panel. Some system may also come with the Dosing Pump
skid depending on the customer requirements.

5.1 SENSOR / SAMPLING CHAMBER

The sensor module sits on top of the sampling chamber, with the probe end below the water level.
The sample chamber has two valves to adjust the flow :

 The inlet should be adjusted such that there is always a sample present at recommended flow
600-800 lph.
 The main drain needs to be adjusted open to allow the larger particles to drain while sample
water is measured
 The overflow pipe is usually connected to the main drain and is free flow, its purpose is to
keep the sample chamber from overflowing.

To prevent back flow and allow proper draining it is important that both drain are left open to the
atmosphere and kept as short as possible.

If heavy particulates can be present in the water it is important to install a 40 mesh strainer before
the inlet. The flow should also be kept low to allow large sand and larger debris to fall to the bottom
of the sample chamber and drain, without causing harm to the sensor.

Only use this function if necessary and always set it to 0 before performing a calibration!

Calibrate - Press this button to initate a calibration sequence. Only initiate this sequence after the sensor is
allowed to stabilize for a moment in the calibration solution. Calibration will take 60 seconds. After
successful calibration, the SCU reading should read close to 5.00SCU. If there is a problem during
the calibration, a calibration error message will be shown.

P a g e | 31
6.0 CALIBRATION
The CHEMCHLOR SCM sensor has been calibrated at the factory prior to shipment, however to
ensure accuracy it is recommended that the instrument be calibrated prior to being placed online.
Long term drift may occur in this instrument and it is recommended to calibrate every 3 months to
ensure the correct SCU measurement.

To facilitate the initial calibration, a calibration kit is supplied with this instrument. When prepared
according to the included instruction a +5.00 SCU cationic calibration solution is produced. Allow this
solution to stand for 30 minutes prior to use.

6.1 CALIBRATION PROCEDURES

Run the system using the semi or manual dosing mode to prevent interruption of the dosing while
performing the calibration. In preparation for the calibration ensure that previously operated sensors
are rinsed with and then operated in clean water for several minutes. Place the sensor in the Cationic
Standard and allow it to stand for about 15 minutes.

On the SCU display page, click the SCM setting menu. Once inside the SCM Sensor Setting page press
the CALIBRATE button to start the calibration process, which will take 60 seconds.

At the completion of the calibration, ensure the reading is +4.80 to +5.20 SCU. If the reading appears
unstable initiate another calibration sequence. If the +5.00 SCU calibration value is not achievable,
sensor may due for change.

Rinse the sensor with clean water and let it stand at the sampling pot for 15 minutes prior to
returning to auto dosing control mode.

P a g e | 32
7.0 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
The most important maintenance procedure is to keep the sensor clean. The need for cleaning is
indicated when normal reading cannot be maintained. As a preventive measure, cleaning intervals of
14 days or less is recommended. There are two recommended cleaning methods.

7.1 CHEMICAL CLEANING

Pour the SCM-1 cleaning solution (Part No SCM224952) into a suitable container, large enough to
immerse the lower 1/2 of the probe body. Run the sensor in this solution for approximately 10
minutes. Then run the instrument for about 10 minutes in clean water.

For organic debris, replace the cleaning solution with a 5% chlorine solution.

Please refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet for proper handling of the SCM-1 cleaning solution.

7.2 MANUAL CLEANING

In extreme conditions, the cell will have to be removed and cleaned with an abrasive cleaning pad
such as Scotch-Brite® and a small brush. Always rinse the probe out with clean water prior to
starting.

1. To expose the cell and probe area, remove the bottom cap by turning it CCW (as viewed from
the bottom). Be careful to retain o-rings and seals.

2. Carefully pull the Cell out of the probe end, about 25-50 mm (1-2 inches)

3. Clean the inside of the cell with a stiff toothbrush and an abrasive pad such as (Scotch-Brite®).
The aim is to remove all debris and polish all stainless steel surfaces.

4. Rinse the cell with water.

5. Loosen the shaft-retaining nut with a 10mm wrench and from the bottom of the sensor
unscrew the probe.

6. Completely remove the nut then pull the probe out.

7. Polish the probe with the abrasive pad.

8. Reinstall the probe, adjusting the probe such that it misses the bottom of the cell by 1-2 mm,
then snug the 10mm retaining nut. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.

9. Completely dry off any water that is in and around the cell cap, the bottom of the cell and the
O-rings and seals.

10. Reassemble the lower seals and install the cap very firmly by hand.

11. Rotate the motor slowly by hand to ensure the probe does not hit the cell bottom. If there
appears to be any contact adjust the probe up slightly.

12. If the probe does not rotate freely inside the cell, check for obstructions. This condition will
cause premature motor wear.
