Plug in the variables and find the answers to common treatment formulas.

Calculate Plant Loading and Efficiency.
Enter the treatment plant Flow in MGD Flow

mgd

Formulas

MGD x 8.34 x ppm Influent = Total pounds entering plant

MGD x 8.34 x ppm Effluent = Total pounds leaving plant

Pounds entering plant - Pounds leaving plant = Pounds removed

Pounds entering plant - Pounds leaving plant / Pounds entering plant x 100 = % Removal efficiency

Enter treatment plant Influent Concentration in mg/l or PPM Influent

ppm
Enter Treatment plant Effluent Concentration in mg/l or PPM
Effluent

Calculate Chlorine Demand.
Enter the treatment plant Flow in GPM Flow

gpm
Formulas

Feed Rate / (GPM x .012) = Calculated Residual

Calculated Residual - Measured Residual = Chlorine Demand

Enter Feed Rate in lbs./day Feed Rate
