Question: Using the Limestone Contactor Water!Pro program, determine the following: Develop a limestone bed design graph that relates limestone particle diameter ( 0 . 5 ,

Using the Limestone Contactor Water!Pro program, determine the following:
Develop a limestone bed design graph that relates limestone particle diameter (0.5,1.0, & 1.5 cm)(x-
axis) versus limestone bed depth (y-axis) for 3 different superficial velocities (3,5, & 7 gpm/ft2). Use
the following parameters in your design consideration: TDS 400 mg/l, pH 7.0, total alkalinity 40 mg/l as
CaCO3, calcium 10 mg/l as Ca2+, water temperature 25oC, limestone porosity 0.42, sphericity 0.80, mass
% of limestone particles 95, limestone =17.1 mg/l based on 100% exposed surface area, and a target pH
8.37. Assume CO2 of 7.0 mg/l.
