Water Parameters Expressed in
terms of CaCO3
• V1N1 = V2N2
• 1 m3 = 1000 lit = 1 KL=1MT=1000 Kg (water)
• 1milligram / lit or Kg = 1 ppm
• 1 Kg / 1000 MT or 1000 m3 = 1 ppm
• Kg product / Volume M3 x 1000 = ppm
• ppm / 1000 x volume m3 = Kg product
• Kg product /Sp..Gravity = Liter of product.
Conversion Factors
• Weight • Volume

= 0.0083 pounds per thousand gallons
ppm x 0.06 = grains per gallons
grains per gallons x 17.1 = ppm

Rain is water in its purest natural form. This natural
purity is short lived however, because as it starts
falling becomes contaminated with three types of
impurities.
Water Water Water
• Suspended solids
• Dissolved solids
• Dissolved Gases
• Color & Taste
Suspended Solids
• Clay
• Silt
• Dirt
• Oil
• Decayed vegetation
• Bacteria
• Algae
• TDS /Conductivity
• Hardness
• pH
• Alkalinity
Conductivity
• A measure of how well water will conduct
electric current
• Conductivity is an indirect measurement of
Total Dissolved Solids.
Unit :
TDS : ppm
Conductivity : Micro siemens or Mili siemens
Hardness
Salts of Calcium & Magnesium
Measured by titration against 0.02N EDTA
Cause scaling
HCO3 of Ca & Mg
Carbonate hardness
Temporary hardness
SO4--,NO3 of Ca & Mg
Non Carbonate hardness
Permanent hardness
pH
pH = - log ( H +)
At 7 pH
H+ = OH-
Alkalinity
• Capacity to neutralize acidity.
• CO2, HCO3, CO3, & OH
• Measured by titration against Sulphuric
Acid.
• M or Total alkalinity
• P alkalinity
• OH alkalinity
Alkalinity
• M or Total alkalinity – HCO3+CO3+OH
• P alkalinity – pH > 8.3 - OH + 0.5 CO3
• OH becomes measurable above 9.6 pH
• pH < 4.4 mineral acid is present,CO2 tries to escape.
• pH between 4.4 – 8.3 equilibrium exists between
carbonates & CO2
• pH between 8.3 – 9.6 equilibrium exists between
bicarbonates & CO3
• Above pH 9.6 equilibrium exists between carbonates &
OH
Alkalinity
pH > 9.6
2P – M = OH
pH 8.2 – 9.6
2P = CO3
M – 2P = HCO3
