Hi,

I'm hoping someone smarter than me can help with calculating dilution amount based off chemical ratios.

In our chemical cabinet setup, we have 3 chemicals that are mixed together, NH4OH, H2O2 and DIW [water]

Size of the tank the chemicals are mixed into is 35L.

If we have a ratio of 1:1:5 [NH4OH:H2O2:DIW]

My flowrates would be set to the following for 1:1:5

NH4OH: 2000 mL/min
H2O2: 2000 mL/min
DIW: 10 L/min.

What I would like to do with this information is to be able to calculate flowrates for NH4OH, H2O2 and DIW based off the ratio I set.

Tank size is a constant value. It will always fill to 35L.


Example: If I set the ratio to 1:1:25, what do my flowrates need to be for NH4OH, H2O2 and DIW?

My goal is to ultimately put these calculations into an Excel spreadsheet where I just enter the ratio and Excel calculates the flowrates, but I need to first understand how to calculate them.

Thanks for your support!

This mixture is not stable. Peroxide will decompose in alcaline environment.

what are the compositions of your feed streams
is this a batch operation? or is there a constant product stream?
is the tank well mixed?

Depending on the concentration of H₂O₂, this process can be badly dangerous.
