What is the Pound formula?

Pound Formula:
MGD x 8.34 lbs/gallon x ppm = (lbs/day) % available (decimal equivalent)
% available is the decimal equivalent of a percent 100% = 1, 65% = 0.65

Volume of a rectangular basin, in cubic feet =LxWxH

Volume of a rectangular basin

What is the Volume of a rectangular basin, in gallons?

V = L x W x H x 7.48 gal/CF (All dimensions are in feet)

How can you convert from cfs to Mgd?

cfs x 0.646 = Mgd

How can you convert from percent (%) to ppm or mg/l?

% to mg/L
1% = 10,000 mg/L
12% x 10,000 mg/L = 120,000 mg/L 1%

How do you calculate %?

% = part/whole

What is one billing unit?

One billing unit=1CCF (One hundred cubic feet) or 748 gallons

The Roman numeral C for 1-hundred and CF for cubic feet means 100 CF = 100 x 7.48 gal/CF equals 748 gallons.

What is detention time formula?

Detention time (Dt) = volume/flow

The volume and flow units have to match. Like a volume of 1,000 gallons and a flow of 100 gallons per minute equals Dt = 1,000 gallons = 10 minutes 100 gpm

How many minutes are in a day?

1440 minutes/day 60 min/hour x 24 hours/day = 60 x 24 = 1440 min/day

How many liters per gallon?

3.785Liters/Gallon

How many milliliters per liter?

1000mL/L

What is the conversion for feet of water column into pressure as psi?

Feet of water x 0.433 = psi

1-ft of water column = 0.433-psi

Or 2.31ft =1psi 12-feet x 0.433 psi/foot = 5.196 or 5.2 psi 10 psi x 1 foot = 23.095-feet or 23.1-ft. 0.433 psi 10 psi x 2.31 feet/1psi = 23.1-ft.

What is the relationship between Chlorine dosage, demand and residual?

Dosage = Demand+Residual

How many square feet (Ft2) are in an acre?

1 acre = 43,560

2 Ft

How many cubic feet (Ft3) are in one acre-foot?

43,560

3 Ft =

1 acre-foot

An acre with one-foot deep of water is an Acre-foot (AF). Ft2 x 1ft = ft3

1 acre-foot =? Gallons

1 acre-foot= 43,560Ft3 x7.48 3 gallons/Ft =325,828.8 gallons

Roughly 326,000 gallons for fast calculations
43,560 ft3 x 7.48 gal = 325,828.8 gallons ft3

Convert oF to oC

o (( F+40)

x 5/9) - 40=

oC

Boiling points for both scales:

example: 212F + 40 = 252 x 5 9 = 140 40 = 100C

Convert

oC

to

oF

o (( C+40)

x 9/5) - 40 =

oF

example:
100C + 40 = 140 x 9 5 = 252 40 = 212 oF

Convert ppm to grains per gallon for water softening

Ppm/17.1=1 gpg or mg/L/ 17.1 = 1 gpg

350 mg/L x 1gpg = 20.46 or 21 gpg 17.1 mg/L

What is the formula for filtration rate in gallons per minute per square foot?

2 gpm/ft =

flow(gpm)/ surface area

2 (ft )

What is the filtration rate when a 400-sq.ft. filter is filtering 2,200 gallons per minute?
gpm/ft2 = 2,200 gpm = 5.5 gpm/ft2 400-sq.ft.

How many pounds of active ingredient if you know a liquid's active ingredient percentage?

% x weight of water x specific gravity=pounds active ingredient Example: a bottle of bleach is 5 % Chlorine. How many lbs. active ingredient in a 1 gallon bottle?
5 %=0.0525

0.0525 x 8.34lbs/gallon x sg=

lbs/gallon active ingredients 0.0525 x 8.34 x 1.00 = 0.43785

What is the formula relating two liquids with two different concentrations?

C1V1 = C2V2
C1 = first Concentration of a chemical, in percent V1 = Volume of first concentration C2 = second Concentration of the chemical V2 = final Volume A chemical was delivered at 10% and needed to be diluted to 1%. How many gallons (V1) are needed to make-up 300-gallons (V2)? V1 = C2V2 = 1% x 300-gal = 30 gallons C1 10%
