AALSO vocab and Answers Verified 100% Correct
a substance whose chemical constituents are being identified and measured
applied ozone dose (AOD)
the quantity of ozone applied for a given flow, or the required ozone production rate.
Applied ozone dose will always exceed dissolved ozone
autoclave
a strong heated container used for chemical reactions and other processes using high
pressured and temperatures
ball valve
a one-way valve that is opened and closed by pressure on a ball which fits into a cup-
shaped opening
Beer's Law
an equation that relates the attenuation of light to properties of a material. The law states
the concentration of a chemical is directly proportional to the absorbance of a solution
Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD)
the amount of dissolved oxygen that must be present in water in order for microorganisms to
decompose the organic matter in the water, used as a measure of the degree of pollution
biological filtration
a process where media with high surface area is colonized with bacteria and/or
other microorganisms that are employed to break down nitrogenous wastes
biotower
, a cylindrical structure that contained media with high surface area that is colonized with
bacteria and/or other microorganisms that are employed to break down nitrogenous wastes
bombardment rate
the ratio of dwell time between the air and water in a protein skimmer
break point chlorination
the point at which the disinfection demand has been met, or all undesirable contaminants
in the pool have been oxidized
British thermal unit (Btu)
the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of one pound of water from
60 degrees F to 61 degrees F at one atmospheric pressure
buffer
a solution of liquid whose chemical makeup neutralizes acids or bases without a great change
in pH
burette
a graduated glass tube with a tap at one end, for delivering known volumes of a
liquid, especially in titrations
butterfly valve
a valve consisting of a disk rotating on an axis across the diameter of a pipe to regulate the flow
capacitor
a device used to store an electric charge, consisting of one or more pairs of
conductors separated by an insulator
