    Breakpoint Chlorination to Control Nitrification

    Hi Brick583, I'm wondering if you're creating chloramines which are then being picked up in the nitrate/nitrite tests? Superchlorination would help. I've attached a link to the wikipedia article about chloramines. Regards, Kevinhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloramine

    Sulfur in geothermal spring...trying to create drinkable water

    Here's another idea to consider. We've found peroxide dosing to be effective at higher concentrations. Nix the air stripping idea. It was one I threw out there without thinking. http://www.h2o2.com/industrial/applications.aspx?pid=105&name=Sulfide-Oxidation

    Sulfur in geothermal spring...trying to create drinkable water

    Hi griffrob, I agree with bimr. Your calculation of chlorine demand may actually be low because there may be other constituents which may use up chlorine before it gets to the sulfides. Air stripping, manganese greensand filtration and activated carbon are a few other options to consider...

    Removing air from water pipe post chemical injection?

    Turbzero, we've (ENVIRON) have always used Val-Matic air release valves for large systems. For smaller systems, I'm not sure. Here's their website. You'll probably have to contact them to find your local rep. http://www.valmatic.com/airrelease.html?gclid=COjwz52S86kCFYHs7QodH2_wYQ Regards...

    TDS or TSS?

    Hi Eryp, My question is this, what is the reason for the diversion? Also, what methods are you using to measure TSS and TDS? BTW, TSS does NOT include TDS. The TSS test measures the suspended solids whereas TDS is dissolved solids. Dissolved solids are not suspended and vice versa...
