Silt Density Index Monitor Safe Convenient Advanced Environmental Technology Safe Convenient Advanced Silt Density Index Test Instructions What is SDI? SDI is an acronym for Silt Density Index and it is a measure of the amount of particulate contamination in a Sample of water. Another commonly used acronym for SDI is Fle.g. Fouling Index. Silt Density Index(SDI) testing is most often used to estimating the rate at which colloidal and suspended Matter fouling will occur in a water sample on RO membrane. Why SDI? • Suspended solids and colloidal materials causes membrane fouling in RO system. In order to take some measure of the degree of this fouling problem. SDI test is required. • RO element specifications usually call for the SDI value to be below 5. • Water sources in a RO system often change their water quality and this test often needs to be done weekly or monthly. How is SDI calculated? Using a 0.45-micron pore size membrane element filter, 47-mm in diameter, the SDI test measures the actual decay in flow rate through the filter. The 0.45-micron filter is chosen because it is more likely to clog from colloidal matter than from hard particles such as sand or scale, similar to the behavior of RO membrane. Collect 500ml water sample respectively 5, 10 and 15 minutes after beginning of the test. Silt density index of water sample is defined by the measured time decrease percentage of equal water quantity. Time of 15 minutes is the correct and standard testing interval defined in the ASTM D4189-07. SDI values measured at 5 and 10 minutes are only used to evaluate the SDI value measured at 15 minutes. Calculate the silt density index(SDI) as follows: t
