Answer to Question #68415 in Chemistry for dan

Question

what should be the setting on a chlorinator if a pump usually delivers approximately 700 GPM (assume 1 MGD) and the desired chlorine dose is 3.0 mg/L?

Answer 1

Answer:
1 gallon = 3.78 litres
700 gallon per minute = 3.78 x 700 = 2646 liters per minute
Chlorine requirement = 2646 x 3 = 7936 mg per minute ≈ 8 grams per minute
