pH Adjustment using Carbon Dioxide
by Ian Todhunter, P. Eng., R.V. Anderson Associates Limited
ABSTRACT
The Elgin Area Primary Water Supply System draws raw water from Lake Erie source water, which has an average pH of 8.27, which is higher than the pH required for optimum coagulation. In order to achieve optimum coagulant dose, it was necessary to separate the coagulant and pH depression chemicals.
