Formula 4.4
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)
$$ m_{s}=\left(C_{s f} V_{f}\right)-\left(C_{s i} V_{i}\right) $$
