Softener Effluent Analysis
**************************************************************************
NOTE: At the text below, total solids of 175 ppm
(parts per million) in the feedwater concentrated 20
times give 3,500 ppm in the boiler water.
**************************************************************************
a.
Hardness: Maintain hardness of the softened feedwater near zero
CaCO3.
b.
Total Solids: Maintain total solids in the softened feedwater at
a level to ensure a total solids concentration in the boiler water
of less than 3,500 parts per million (ppm) without excessive
blowdown.
