Raise PH by Chemical Addition: Note: All Information in Green To Be Provided by User

This document provides calculations to determine the amount of chemicals needed to raise or lower the pH of water. For raising pH from 4.5 to 7.5 with a flow of 220 m3/d, it determines that 0.27930 kgs/d of NaOH at 100% purity is needed. For lowering pH from 9.5 to 6.5 with a flow of 1050 m3/d, it calculates that 4.05466 kgs/d of 30% HCl solution is required. The document performs the relevant chemical and ion concentration calculations to determine the chemical dosages.
