Lab Charge Analyzers - "5 minute jar test" |
The LCA's help the WTP personnel to optimize their coagulant dosage.
Essentially, a jar test can be run in less than 5 minutes. Chemical cost savings, and operator time savings, equals significant $ savings for the municipality. |
The "Ultimate" Lab Charge Analyzer - LCA-3
|
|
The Laboratory Charge Analyzer Model LCA-3 is Chemtrac’s newest model lab unit capable of performing automatic titrations to determine optimum coagulant dosage of a raw water sample. The LCA-3 is also capable of determining the amount of pH adjustment chemical, such as lime or caustic, that is needed to maintain optimum pH conditions for coagulation. In this video, a sample of water with high color and low alkalinity is being tested. A 1% aluminum sulfate solution is used as the coagulant (titrant) for determining the ppm dose required for charge neutralization, and a 0.5% caustic solution (NaOH) is used as the pH adjustment titrant.

The Laboratory Charge Analyzer (LCA) is an essential coagulation optimization tool for the water treatment professional. The LCA allows the user to determine the ideal coagulant dosage needed to achieve optimum NTU and TOC reduction in less than 5 minutes typically. The LCA can also be used to determine the dosage rate of additives like lime or caustic when used to raise coagulation pH of low alkalinity waters. The larger sample size capability of the LCA allows the user to accurately titrate samples using undiluted coagulant, which is a very important feature when working with highly reactive coagulants like PACl or ACH. Options for pH measurement and auto-titration are also available.
