c. Assuming the following costs, which one is least expensive?<br />

i. Sodium hypochlorite = $2.75 per gallon<br />

$2.75<br />

154.2 gal = $424.05<br />

gal<br />

ii. HTH = $1.35 per pound<br />

$1.35<br />

685.73 lbs = $925.74<br />

7. A water treatment operator adjusted the amount of 15% Alum dosage from 90 mg/L to<br />

65 mg/L. Based on a treatment flow of 8 MGD, what is the cost savings if 15% Alum<br />

costs $1.20 per pound?<br />

8.34 lbs<br />

8 MGD 90 ppm<br />

15% concentration 0.15<br />

= 40,032 lbs per day<br />

4,336.8<br />

= 28,912 lbs per day<br />

15% concentration 0.15<br />

$1.20<br />

28,912 lbs = $34,694.4 per day<br />

lbs<br />

Cost Savings = $48,038.40 per day - $34,694.4 per day = $13,344 per day<br />
