Method Overview

• Typically a grab sample from the hydrocyclone underflow.
• Sampled in accordance with EPRI Method A1.

Target Compounds

• Solids content;
• Liquid content;
• Water-Soluble Solids content.

Performance Tips

Parameter	Suggested Method of Analysis	Description of Method	Suggested Frequency	Use of data
Thickener or hydrocyclone underfloow solids content	EPRI Method F1	Gravimetric	Start and finish of each performance test run	Troubleshoot process and calibrated lime density parameters
Clarifying water, water analysis (anions, cations & suspended solids)	Can vary depending on parameter of interest. See table of Recirculation Slurry/Blowdown Analysis		Start and finish of each performance test run	Monitor thickener performance
Supernatent, filtrant solids content (% by wt)	EPRI Method E1	Gravimetric	Start and finish of each performance test run	Monitor filter cloth status

Shipping

• Acetone must be shipped as a hazardous material. Please call for IATA codes if you need them.
• Samples may be shipped at ambient temperatures (or at preservations temperatures specified by individual parameter);
• It may prove more economical to keep acetone rinses separate, ship other samples normally, and the acetone as hazardous.
• Be sure to include a chain of custody for each shipping container.
