Additive crystalline salt amount to increase the density - Method I (single-salt systems)
Input(s)
\(V_{i}\): Volume of Initial Brine Formulation (bbl)
\(\rho_{i}\) : Density of Fluid \(\left(\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}\right)\)
\(C_{s f}\): Concentration of Salt in Final Formulation (%)
\(C_{s i}\): Concentration of Salt in Initial Formulation (%)
\(P_{s}\): Purity of Salt to be added (%)
Output(s)
[^1]
Formula(s)
\[
m_{s}=\frac{V_{i}(42 \mathrm{gal} / \mathrm{bbl})\left(\rho_{i}\right)\left(C_{s f}-C_{s i}\right)}{P_{s}-m C_{s f}}
\]
