Sop for Sodium Meta Bi-Sulphate solution preparation (SMBS).
This Document describes (Standard Operating procedure) SOP for Sodium Meta Bi-Sulphate solution preparation (SMBS). SMBS solution used in water plant for dechlorination purpose i.e. It is reducing or eliminating chlorine levels in water. Chlorine is commonly used as a disinfectant in water.
SOP for Sodium Meta Bi-Sulphate solution preparation.
(SMBS)
I. Purpose & Scope:
- The Purpose of this SOP is to lay down the procedure for Sodium Meta Bi-Sulphate solution preparation (SMBS)
- This procedure is applicable Engineering Department personnel for Sodium Meta Bi-Sulphate solution preparation (SMBS).
II. Responsibilities:
- All Engineering personnel shall be responsible to follow and implement this SOP.
III. Introduction and Procedural Part:
Sodium Meta Bi-Sulphite Dosing System (Dosage of 4 PPM for Dechlorination):
- Ensure that Sodium metabisulphite tank is cleaned with Purified water.
- Prepare sodium metabisulphite solution in the tank.
- Clean the dosing tank.
- Suspended matter should not be present.
- Suction float of the dosing pump should be properly immersed in the dosing solution.
- For proper dosage, check no air is locked in the suction & discharge side of dosing tube.
- Add 54 gms. of sodium metabisulphite of LR grade in the tank & add 20 liter. of RO permeate water.
- The flow rate of the dosing pump should be maintained 30 strokes per minute.
Solution calculation:
Concentration of SMBS (C) | 96 % |
PPM of SMBS to be Dosed (D) | 4.0 PPM |
No. of hours of operation (H) | 8 hrs. |
Flow in m3/hr (F) | 1.6 m3hr |
Amount of SMBS required | (F X H X D) / (D X C),(1.6 X 8 X 4) / ( 10 X 96) = 0.054 kg |
- Sample should be taken after cartridge filter sampling point since it provides proper mixing of sodium metabisulphite in the RO feed water Dechlorination.
- Free chlorine should be nil.
- All data shall be monitored & logged in Annexure I
