SDI Kit (Silt Density Index) or Fouling Index Test Kit Cat. No. SDIAKITIN The Silt Density Index (SDI or Fouling Index Testis use to measure the value of SDI as the fouling tendency of feed water. For any purification equipment, the SDI or Fouling Indextesthas to be maintained atan acceptable level to ensure economicand efficient operation. SDI or Fouling test is a simple procedure developed to estimate the amount of particulate contamination in water. Itmeasures the decay inflow rat, through 47 mm diameter 0.45 ym pore size membrane. This is chosen because the membrane fs more susceptible to clogging from colloidal matter than from hard particles The SOI Kitcontsins 47 mm diameter filter holder, pressure regulator, pressure gauge, values, fittings, forceps and membrane filter discs. To conduct the SDI test, a timing device ands 100 ml volume container or graduated cylinder ialso required SDI Test Procedure Note : For testing pretreatment water, the pretreatment equipment should be running atrormal operating conditions during test procedures The Standard SD test procedure shouldbe used after the waterhas been treated by any ‘membrane purification technique, such as UF or, ‘Step 1 to 8 should be followed for both Standard and Modified Procedures Protocol 1. Flush the sampling line for 3-5 minutes before installing the apparatus 2. Connect the SOl apparatus without the memirane filter tothe sampling line. 3. Open thevalve onthe test apparatus and flush the apparatus for? minutes withthe waterto be tested. 4. Set the pressure regulator to 30 psi (2bars-The set screw onthe regulator should beadjuste, while thereisa small flow. 5. Close thevalve on the apparatus and release pressure. 5. Carefully place 80.45 ym membrane filter (Cat. No. HAINPO8700) in the 47 mm holder, shinyside up &gentl tighten the thumb wheel 7. Open the vent valve for venting and while water is flowing out, be sure al air has been vented from the iter holder (Ifthe air has not been properly vented from the upstream side of the filter, white patches wll appear on the filter atthe end ofthe test where bubbles had blocked the flow of water) 8. Tighten thevent ae Standard Procedure 8, Position graduated cylinder tomeasure flow rate. 10. Open the valve fully Et measure flw rate. With 2 stopwatch, note the time taken to fillthe 100 mL graduated cylinder. 11. Measute flow rate asin step 10 above after 5, 10 & 15 minutes intervals. Wf flow stopsbefore 15 minuteshas elapsed, recor the time. For measuring Silt Density Index in Feed Water Online Water Inlet Needle Valve Pressure Gauge Filter Holder Measuring Cylinder + Merck Millipore is @ division of MERCKFor Modified Procedure 12, Record the time taken forthe total blockage of the membrane (100% blockage is assumed when the steady flow stream First breaks) Note: Calculation for Standard Procedure To estimate te pluggage, use the ratio ofthe change inflow time taken Intialyand after 1$ minutesinto the test Equation No. 2 Itisadvisabletorun two ormore SO teststo confirm results. fa large difference isseen,a third test should bern.
