Lesson 27:

Chemical Feed Pump Calculations


Math Worksheet

Name: Student ID:

Please answer the following questions using the common conversion tables in the lesson. Put your
calculations into the allotted space after the question. Show your step by step calculations so I can see
you did the correct order of operations. Partial credit may be awarded. You must show how you
worked the conversion, step by step for full credit.

1. Give the typical dosage range for chlorine for the following wastewater treatment purposes:

Sludge Bulking Control:


Activated sludge plant effluent:
Trickling filter plant effluent:
Odor control:
Fresh raw sewage:

2. How many pounds per day of 65% calcium hypochlorite are required to disinfect activated
sludge effluent flowing at a rate of 0.7 MGD, with a desired chlorine dose of 7.2 mg/L

3. Determine the feed rate in kilograms per day (kg/day) for problem #2.

4. The required chemical pumping rate has been calculated as 7.5 gpm. If the maximum pumping
rate is 55 gpm, what should the percent stroke setting be?

5. The required chemical pumping rate has been calculated as 125.5 lb/day. If the maximum
pumping rate is 20 gpm, what should the percent stroke setting be?

6. A diaphragm pump used to meter sodium hypochlorite has a maximum output of 18 L/s. What
% stroke should be selected to deliver 4.2 L/s?
7. What is the chemical feed rate, in mL/min, needed to achieve a chlorine residual of 42 mg/L if
the flow is 3.85 MGD and the density of the chemical used, caustic soda, is 2.13 g/cm 3?

8. A treatment plant is feeding caustic soda at a dosage of 42 mg/L. The plant flow is 3.85 MGD.
The caustic soda used is a 40% solution and has a density of 17.77 lb/gal. What is the feed rate
in mL/min? What does this tell you when you compare it to question #7, since the dosage and
flow rate is the same for both questions?

9. Calculate the cycle time for a wet well that holds 1850 gallons if the inflow to the wet well is 255
gpm and the lift pump has a capacity of 380 gpm.

10. Calculate the cycle time for a wet well that is 3.8 m in diameter and 4.5 m deep if the inflow to
the wet well is 0.54 m3/min and the lift pump has a capacity of 25 L/s.
