Hi CHAKRAPANI, I agree with Conor on the pre-treatment required. Also query if the TSS is realistic. If this is the number reported I suspect the sample was taken close to shore in the break. I suggest you re-sample at location relevant to where the intake will be situated to get accurate gauge of the TSS level. As Conor mentioned if the TSS is that high you will need additional treatment in your design to deal with this. Therefore it is important to get accurate information on this. Regarding the post treatment, the pH will possibly be lower than you require. Therefore I think you'll either need Caustic dosing to correct this. However to meet the LSI spec, some Lime/CO2+Calcite addition is needed to increase the Calcium - depending on this design you may not require Caustic. Hope this helps, Anthony
