Additive crystalline salt amount to increase the density - Method II (single-salt systems)

Input(s)

$V_{i}$: Volume of Initial Brine Formulation (bbl)

$V_{f}$: Volume of Brine Following the Adjustment (bbl)

$C_{s f}$: Concentration of Salt in Final Brine Formulation $(\mathrm{lbm} / \mathrm{bbl})$

$C_{s i}$: Concentration of Salt in Initial Brine Formulation $(\mathrm{lbm} / \mathrm{bbl})$

Output(s)

$m_{s}$: Additional Salt need to raise the Density (lbm)

Formula(s)

$$ m_{s}=\left(C_{s f} V_{f}\right)-\left(C_{s i} V_{i}\right) $$
