Hello all, and thank you for future responses they would be greatly appreciated.
A small municipality that I work for has an H2S level that exceeds agencies standards for simple treatment by chlorination. Due to budget and operational restraints the only solutions to lowering the H2S levels are pH adjustments before aeration (to lower the pH), then corrosion inhibitors or another pH adjustment to readjust the pH of the water before distribution to the system. Does anybody know how to calculate the amount of acid to add to lower the pH of the water (with sulfuric acid) in order to favor the production of H2S before aeration, or know of spreadsheets that would do it (I have some chemical data for the water such as alkalinity, Ca, etc.).
