solvemass_solids {tidywater} | R Documentation |
Determine solids lb/day
Description
This function takes coagulant doses in mg/L as chemical, removed turbidity, and plant flow as MGD to determine solids production.
Usage
solvemass_solids(
alum = 0,
ferricchloride = 0,
ferricsulfate = 0,
flow,
turb,
b = 1.5
)
Arguments
alum |
Amount of hydrated aluminum sulfate added in mg/L as chemical: Al2(SO4)3*14H2O + 6HCO3 -> 2Al(OH)3(am) +3SO4 + 14H2O + 6CO2 |
ferricchloride |
Amount of ferric chloride added in mg/L as chemical: FeCl3 + 3HCO3 -> Fe(OH)3(am) + 3Cl + 3CO2 |
ferricsulfate |
Amount of ferric sulfate added in mg/L as chemical: Fe2(SO4)3*8.8H2O + 6HCO3 -> 2Fe(OH)3(am) + 3SO4 + 8.8H2O + 6CO2 |
flow |
Plant flow in MGD |
turb |
Turbidity removed in NTU |
b |
Correlation factor from turbidity to suspended solids. Defaults to 1.5. |
Value
A numeric value for solids mass in lb/day.
