- What is a biocide slug dose?
- A slug dose delivers a full biocide charge to the system in a single short event to reach a target concentration that controls microbiological growth, rather than feeding continuously. Slug dosing is common for oxidizing and non-oxidizing biocides in cooling towers.
- How is biocide solution demand calculated?
- The calculator multiplies the target dosage by system volume, then adjusts for the biocide’s solution strength and the 8.34 lb/gal density of water to return the solution volume required for the slug event.
- What is pump injection time?
- Injection time is how long the metering pump must run to deliver the required solution volume at its rated capacity. The calculator returns it in minutes so it can be programmed into the chemical controller’s biocide event.
