Example of chemical requirement for cleaning
1000 ft of a 6”dia pipe with 1” thickness of struvite.
General
Information:
1) 6
inch diameter pipe= 0.196 ft3/linear ft
2) 4 inch
diameter pipe= 0.126 ft3/linear ft
3) 1
cubic ft of struvite weigh= 106.08 lbs
4) To
completely dissolve 1 pound of struvite, you will need 2.5 lbs to 3.0 lbs of Struvite Remover
5) 1
gal of Struvite Remover weighs 8.63 lbs/gal
0.196 ft3 – 0.126 ft3=0.07 ft3 of
struvite per linear foot of a pipe 6”dia with 1” thickness
0.07 ft3/linear ft x 106.08 lbs/ft3= 7.43
lbs of struvite per linear ft
7.43 lbs of struvite/linear ft x 3 lbs of Struvite Remover/lb of
struvite= 22.29 lbs per linear ft.
22.29 lbs/linear ft x 1 gal/8.63 lbs= 2.58 gals/linear ft
