The FGDLIQEQ program accepts data for one sample at a time. Input to
the program completes the following table:
The first five entries are for your identification purposes. Your answers
are merely repeated on the output screen.
Title of Output (80 characters maximum)
Sample Date (8 characters maximum)
Sampte Time (8 characters maximum)
Sample ID (4 characters maximum)
Stream Sampled (31 characters maximum)
The remaining entries are values used in the calculation, and therefore
they must be expressed in the units specified.
After you have completedall the questions, you will be shown the above
table complete with your entries and asked if the input values are cor-
rect. If the table is correct, type Y and the calculation will proceed and
the results will tx!displayed (this step takes about three minutes). If the
table is incorrect, type N. You will be given all the input questions again,
in turn. As you proceed through the questions again, the displayed
answers in brackets will be those values that you entered previously.
Simply press 4 until you reach the incorrect answer.
Output
All of your input and output is contained in this table. Press Shift-PrtSc to
print this screen for your records. Numbers such as 1.231 -5 are short-
hand notation. This one is read as 1.231 x 1u5. Entriesthat represent cal-
culated results are shown below:
Ionic Strength is a measure of the electrostatic interaction between
charged species in the aqueous sotution. The calculation techniques
used in the FGDLlQEQ program require that the ionic strength be less
than two. All computed results should be suspect when the ionic
strength is greater than two.
OO
/Charge Balance is a measure of the electroneutrality of the aque-
ous solution. If the input from the laboratory analysis is perfect, then
the % charge balance is zero. An acceptable value is .+. 15%.
SO2Alkalinity measures the SO, absorbing capacity of the solution. It
is reported as the additional SO, that can be absorbed in the liquor
before the SO2back pressure is 100 ppmv.
Reiative Saturation is a measure of the solution's tendency to dissolve
or precipitate a solid. Values greater than one indicate precipitation,
white values less than one indicate dissolution of any of that solid.
Gas Back Pressure is the evaporative vapor pressure of a gas above
the solution. The difference between this value and the actual partial
pressure in the gas is roughly proportional to the "driving force" for
absorption of that gas,
Solid-SolutionMole Fraction is nonzero whenever a solid solution will
precipitate.
A more detailed description of these process indicators is given in
Volume 1.

Installation
The FGDLlQEQ program is delivered on a 5lk-in. floppy diskette. This
original diskette is write protected and should serve as a permanent
backup. A working copy containing your DOS, which may be used to
"boot" the system, must be made as follows:
If You Have a Single Drive System:
1. Place your DOS master in drive A:
2. Type FORMAT A:IS
Follow the system prompts.
3. After the new diskette has been formatted, place the FGDLIQEQ
master in drive A:
4. Type COPY A:*. *B:
Follow the system prompts-
Insert new diskette when prompted for drive B:
Insert FGDLIQEQ master when prompted for drive A:
If You Have a Double Drive System:
1. Place your DOS master in drive A:
2. Place new diskette in drive B:
3. Type FORMAT B:IS
4. After the new diskette has been formatted, place the FGDLIQEQ
master in drive A:
5. Type COPY A:*. B:
