Chemical dosing calculator for water industry

Water has always been an important and life-sustaining drink to human and is essential to the survival of all organisms. The water industries are responsible for producing safe drinking water for people nation wide. Various chemicals like alum, poly electrolytes are required to mix with turbid natural water for removing solid waste material before filtration. Amount of dosing of such chemicals are very important in the purification process. In this paper authors studied importance of chemical dosing for a period of time in a water treatment plant. The results reveal that due to lack experience of plant operators of suitable dosing calculation, there is contamination of excess metal in the drinking water and also there is unexpected extra consumption of dosing chemicals. Therefore authors developed dosing calculator software as a tool for chemical dosing calculation in water Industry to support plant operators. In this paper, authors described the chemical dosing software for design and development of chemical dosing calculator.
