Can somebody please help me. I have recently purchased a 20 litre drum of anionic acid no-rinse sanitiser. The manufacturer says make a 0.3% solution. The website from Birko Corporation says that a 200ppm of active sanitiser will do the trick - a recommendation of 1oz (30ml) per 5gal (22.5L) is given. Other manufacturers say make a 200ppm solution, so this is what I assumed.
Now my problem is that 1ul (microlitre) per Litre = 1ppm. So therefore 200ul per Litre = 200ppm. Is that right? Because if so, then the amount of acid I should be adding is 1millilitre per 5 Litres (200ul x 5 = 1000ul = 1 millilitre), which equals a bit under 5ml per 5gal. Way off the mark compared to the manufacturers.
CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS ONE? THANKS.
By the way, the amount of Phosphoric acid per Litre is 500g (50%).
