Method

M = D × Q / 1000 ; V_sol = M / (%w/v × 10) ; 0.1% = 1 kg/m³

Reference: Metcalf & Eddy; supplier make-up practice.

Polymer type (charge/MW) and dose are jar-test decisions. Make up fresh, allow 30–60 min hydration, avoid over-concentrated stock (>0.5% dry becomes unpumpable).

Estimated use: about 360 kg/month of ChimiArt ARTFLOC / CHIMIFLOC polymer (dose 0.5 mg/L, flow 24000 m³/day).
