Quality Control of Sodium Acetate Carbon Source: Key Indicators of Content, pH and Insolubles

Key indicators of sodium acetate as wastewater carbon source include main content (as CH3COONa), pH, insolubles and chlorides.

HG/T 5959-2021 'Carbon Source Sodium Acetate for Biochemical Wastewater Treatment' sets technical requirements for liquid and solid products, serving as the basis for procurement acceptance.

WWTPs should sample-check content and impurities by standard upon arrival, avoiding products with high insolubles and impurities that affect the system and effluent. Fannuo liquid sodium acetate is produced and QC'd per the standard.
