This workshop is designed to provide participants with an overview of the D/DBP Rule and the water testing requirements associated with this new legislation. Analytical techniques and systems available for tests required under the D/DBP Rule will be introduced, including disinfectants, organic carbon, and disinfection by-products. The course objectives will be met by presenting theory, incorporating practical applications of analytical techniques, and through hands-on experience and demonstration of testing parameters using laboratory instrumentation. Through interactive scenarios, participants will learn the theory and testing connected with the D/DBP Rule.

Basic thru Advanced

*D/DBP Rule - Overview of the D/DBP Rule, requirements of the rule, analytical testing associated with the regulation. * Chlorination chemistry, chlorination, and the analysis methods associated with chlorination, hands-on lab covers chlorine testing and verification of chlorine test results. * Discussion of alternative disinfectants (chlorine dioxide, ozone, chloramination), focus of the chemistry of chloramination, analysis methods for chloramination control, hands-on lab covers monochloramine, ammonia, and total chlorine testing. * TOC theory and lab/online methods for TOC analysis * Theory of DBP formation potential and relationships between DBP-FP, UV254, and SUVA, DBP-FP analysis methods, demonstration of DR/4000 UV absorbance measurements and SUVA calculations.
