Scaling Potential - Primary Measurement

Above the given limits, scaling is likely to occur. Scaling indexes should be calculated using the limits below.
pH/Calcium Hardness	All	-			pH < 7.5 and Ca Hardness <100ppm
Method
Index Limits for Probable Scaling Situations - (Operation outside these limits is not recommended)
Scaling indexes should be calculated at 150°F [66°C] for direct use and HWG applications,
and at 90°F [32°C] for indirect HX use. A monitoring plan should be implemented.
Ryznar	All		-		6.0 - 7.5
Stability Index					If >7.5 minimize steel pipe use.
Langelier	All	-			-0.5 to +0.5
				If <-0.5 minimize steel pipe use. Based upon 150°F [66°C] HWG and
Saturation Index

Iron Fouling
Iron Fe 2+ (Ferrous)	All		-			<0.2 ppm (Ferrous)
(Bacterial Iron potential)				If Fe2+ (ferrous)>0.2 ppm with pH 6 - 8, O2<5 ppm check for iron bacteria
Iron Fouling	All	-			<0.5 ppm of Oxygen
				Above this level deposition will occur.

Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S)	All			At H2S>0.2 ppm, avoid use of copper and copper nickel piping or HX's.
				Rotten egg smell appears at 0.5 ppm level.
				Copper alloy (bronze or brass) cast components are OK to <0.5 ppm.

•Closed Recirculating system is identified by a closed pressurized piping system.

•Recirculating open wells should observe the open recirculating design considerations.

•NR - Application not recommended.

•"-" No design Maximum.
