I.   INTRODUCTION
     The Annapolis Field Office began using pumps to obtain dissolved
oxygen samples during water quality surveys in 1967.  Testing of
results obtained at the time indicated that the pumps were sufficiently
accurate for use in the surveys.  Furthermore, tests on submersible
pumps reported in the literature supported this conclusion.,      Two
types of pumps have been used by AFO crews to sample for dissolved
oxygen:  the Rule Master 1300 (submersible, push) and the Teel  1P580
(mounted, pull).
     During the August 1975 Delaware Intensive Survey, the AFO  loaned
the Philadelphia Water Department a Rule Master high speed pump.
Following this survey, the Water Department performed a series  of tests
comparing DO samples from the Rule Master pump and DO samples by an
             2
APHA sampler.      These tests indicated that their pumped samples had
been significantly aerated at DO levels between 1 and 6 mg/1
(corresponding to DO deficits between 2 and 7 mg/1).  It was not
determined whether the aeration resulted from improper use of the pump.
Common errors include failure to completely clear the pump hose before
filling the DO bottle, failure to adequately restrict the flow  from
the high speed pump hose thus allowing splashing in the DO bottle,
and failure to allow water in the DO bottle to overflow 2-3 volumes
before capping.  It was recommended that AFO review its sampling
procedure and conduct a similar study.

-------
II.  THEORETICAL CONSIDERATIONS
     First, the potential  sources of extraneous oxygen in the pumps
were considered.  For a submerged pump, such as the Rule Master,
aeration could result from (1) transient air initially caught in the
pump and hose, (2) splashing of the sample stream in the DO bottle,
or (3) air leaks in the hose.  The first problem should be eliminated
by clearing the lines by pumping through at least three gallons of
water before taking a sample.  The second problem should be eliminated
by crimping the hose to reduce the velocity of the stream, by inserting
the hose well into the DO bottle, and by allowing the DO bottle to
overflow three volumes before removing the hose and capping.  The
third problem should be eliminated by regular inspections of the hose.
All of these problems, then, should be controllable.
     For a surface mounted pump, such as the Tee!, the same potential
problems and solutions are applicable.  In addition, however, is the
potential introduction of air through the pump itself during operation.
This could result from a loose casing and/or extra strain on the pump
caused by excessive crimping of the hose (by restricting the flow of
water through the apparatus, the volume displacement pump could pull
air through the casing).  This problem should be minimized with careful,
experienced handling and periodic inspections of the pump.
     If aeration is occurring due to faulty pumps or handling
techniques, the amount of dissolved oxygen added to the sample should
be proportional to the partial pressure gradient in the gas phase and

-------
                                                 3
the concentration gradient in the liquid phase.      This is similar



to reaeration in streams described by the following equation:




                      dC         A
                      j j_  ~  PM   T7  \ ^c- "~ ^ /
                      at      L  V    S



where



     K[_  = the interfacial oxygen transfer coefficient



     A   = surface area through which transfer occurs



     V   - volume of the sample



     C   = saturation value of DO



     C   = concentration of DO in the sample



The oxygen transfer coefficient itself is a function of the diffusivity



of oxygen in water D^ and the rate of surface renewal r, itself a



function of flow regime:
The terms describing the gas phase and air-water interface are usually



lumped in a volumetric coefficient Ka, which is a weak function of



temperature:



                      K
                       Naj

where e = 1.025 (1.016 - 1.040).


Thus, for a constant temperature,



                      "l*  — i/  / r    r\
                      jJt    Ka \^s ~ LJ'


and, over a small  period of contact time,



                      A DOD = Ka x DOD x At,

-------
where DOD is the DO deficit of the water being sampled,  C  - C.



Assuming a constant volumetric oxygen transfer rate K  and contact



time   t, then the dissolved oxygen deficit of the sample DOD  should



be related to the deficit of the water by



                       DOD = DOD (1-K At).
                          s          a


As one consequence of this relationship, a  linear regression of DOD




versus DOD should give an intercept of 0 and a slope less than or



equal to 1.0.  Because K  is a positive exponential function of
                        a


temperature, DOD  versus DOD should yield progressively  smaller slopes



at higher temperatures.  Variations in pump operation would probably



mask this effect in experimental situations, however, allowing the



grouping of data taken throughout a moderate temperate range.

-------
III.   EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE



      The  subsequent steps  were followed  during all  experiments



      reported in this  paper.



       1.   A plastic 75 gallon drum was  filled with  tap water.



       2.   Oxygen was monitored with a  YSI  submergible probe,



           YSI 5419, and a  model  51  A YSI meter.   The



           YSI equipment had been previously calibrated using



           the  azide modification of the Winkler dissolved



           oxygen method, APHA 1975, pp.  143-4484.



       3.   An A.  H. Thomas  8590-H20 stirrer was employed to



           maintain an  adequate current for the YSI  probe and



           to minimize  a dissolved oxygen gradient.   Homogeneinty



           of this system was established in a preliminary exper-



           iment in which 24 samples were siphoned from the



           drum and assayed (Appendix A).



       4.   Prepurified  nitrogen and/or  oxyqen v.»as bubbled through the drum



           using a gas  dispersion tube,  Kimax 28630, until the



           desired D.O. was obtained.



       5.   Stirring was maintained and  the  temperature was recorded.



       6.   The Rule Master 1300 or the  Tee! 1P580 pump line



           was placed in the drum and three gallons  of water were



           pumped out to free the lines  of  entrapped air.



       7.   The delivery hose of the pump was crimped to restrict



           the flow from the pump until  splashing was minimized.



       8.   The hose was placed at the bottom of a 300cc BOD



           type bottle.  Twelve bottles  were over filled with



           approximately three times their  volume.   This was

-------
     achieved by filling the bottles  over an empty plastic
     bucket of predetermined volume.
 9.   The pump was stopped and twelve  replicate bottles
     were siphoned from the tank using tygon tubing
     (1/4" O.D.)-  Over-filling was  not deemed necessary
     since the flow was very slight  and no splashing was
     observed.
10.   All bottles v/ere capped after being filled and
     immediately "fixed" as outlined  in APHA 1975, p. 443.
11.   All samples were immediately assayed using a Fisher Model  41
     Auto Titralyzer.  Fisher P-340,  0.025 N Potassium
     Biodate was used as the primary  standard and twenty
     duplicate biodate standards were used to establish
     the precision of this instrument, (Appendix A).

-------
                       RESULTS AND DISCUSSION


     Prior to experimentation with the pumps, the precision of

both the analytical  method and of the siphoning procedure was determined.

Twenty replicates of 0.025M Potassium biodate standards were run on
                                                       o
a Fisher Titralyzer, giving a variance of 0.0025 (mg/1) DO (S = .05 nig/1).


Twenty-four replicate samples were siphoned from the tank, giving a


variance of 0.0049 (mg/l)2DO (S - .07 mg/1).  Thus the variance added by

siphoning alone was  approximately twice the variance due to the analytical

procedure.  Assuming perfect accuracy in sampling and analysis,

95 of 100 siphoned samples should lie within — 0J2 mg/1 from the


correct value.  Both the analytical  procedure and the siphoning technique

were considered precise enough to proceed with the experiments.

     Nine experiments at DO levels ranging from 1.1 - 5.6 mg/1 (DOD


from 4.5 - 9.1 mg/1) were run by an AFO chemist, to compare the samples

collected by the Rule Master pump with those obtained by siphoning.


Nine similar experiments were performed with the Teel pump at DO

levels from 1.0 - 5.0 mg/1 (DOD from 4.1 - 8.8 mg/1).  [To  check the


sensitivity to technique involved in sampling, the following pump

operators were tested:  A field technician and an AFO chemist not

experienced in the operation of the pump; and an experienced field

technician.]  Twelve replicates from the pump and the siphon were

analyzed during each experiment.  Variances were tested for homogeneity


using the F-test at the

In this first experiment performed,
cleared before sampling.
the pump line was not sufficiently

-------
The probability of not detecting a mean difference of 0.1 mo/1 (the  3-error)



was computed from the sample size, pooled standard deviation, and the



a level (.01).  Data from each experiment are listed in Appendix A,



and a summary is provided in Table 1.



     Of the nine experiments on the Rule Master pump operated by a



laboratory chemist, all but the first passed the test for homogeneous



variances.  In the first experiment, the pump line was not sufficiently



cleared before sampling, and aeration of the samples occurred due to residual



air in the pump and hose.  In subsequent experiments  at least 3 gallons of



water were pumped through the hose before collecting sameles.  Subject to



adequate clearing of the hose, the Rule Master pump is a sufficiently precise



sampling instrument.



     Eight experiments with the Rule Master pump and the siphon were tested



for equality of means.  Although two experiments did result in statistically



significant differences, the average differences were all less than 0.1 mg/1.



The probability of not detecting a 0.1 mg/1 difference in means averaged 11%.



A linear regression between pumped D.O. deficits (DODp) and siphoned deficits



(DODs) gave a slope of .991, an intercept of 0.063 mg/1 DODp and a correla-



tion coefficient exceeding 0.999.  It is concluded that, with adequate handling,



the Rule Master pump is a sufficiently accurate sampling instrument.



     Of the nine experiments on the Tee! pump, seven were operated by



inexperienced operators, and none of these seven experiments passed the



test for homogeneous variances.  In two of these experiments, the average



differences between pump and siphon were 0.08 and 0.11 mg/1,  respectively



giving marginally unacceptable accuracies.  Generally, however, the Teel

-------
pump with inexperienced operators is neither a sufficiently precise nor



sufficiently accurate sampling instrument.



     The two experiments on the Teel pump with an experienced operator



passed both the test for homogeneous variances and the test for equal



means.  Average differences between pump and siphon were 0.0 and 0.03  mg/1,



respectively.  In the latter experiment, both the precision and the accuracy



of the pump seemed to exceed that of the siphon.   The Teel  pump with an



experienced operator, then, can be both a sufficiently precise and sufficiently



accurate sampling instrument.

-------
                             CONCLUSIONS

1.  The Rule Master pump is sufficiently precise and  accurate to  use
    for sampling D.O.  at deficits as high as 9 mg/1  (this  covers  all  D.O.
    concentrations at  temperatures exceeding 20°C,  and  down  to 1  mg/1  D.O.
    at 15°C).
2.  The Tee! pump can  be operated by experienced personnel  in a manner
    sufficiently precise and accurate to use for sampling  D.O. at deficits
    as high as 8 mg/1.
3.  The Teel pump operated by inexperienced personnel  can  result  in  imprecise
    and inaccurate D.O.  measurements.
4.  The Rule Master pump is preferable to the Teel  pump because it is less
    sensitive to variations in operating procedures.
