Water solids concentration

Water solids concentration

The concentration of solids in formation water (brines) are reported in several different ways .

Math and Physics

$C_{ppm} = \frac{gram solid}{10^6 gram water}$

$C_{mg/l} = \frac{milligram solid}{litre water}$

$C_{mg/l} = C_{ppm} SG_w$

Nomenclature

$C_{mg/l}$ = water salinity / solids concentration, mg/l

$C_{ppm}$ = water salinity / solids concentration, ppm

$SG_w$ = water specific gravity, dimensionless
