About Disinfection
Water sources may contain various pathogens that can cause waterborne diseases. Disinfection is essential to eliminate or reduce the concentration of these microorganisms and protect public health. Even though water treatment processes like coagulation, sedimentation, and filtration remove many contaminants, disinfection is necessary as a final barrier to ensure the water is safe for consumption.
Common Methods of Disinfection
Common Disinfection Methods in Water Treatment Process:
General Calculation for Disinfection Process
1. Chlorine Dosage (CD)
2. UV Disinfection Dosage (UVD)
3. Ozone Effective Concentration Time (CT)
