Description
The main purpose of this course is to provide eight hours of continuing education in understanding various chlorination methods for disinfecting water. Unlike some of the other disinfection methods like ozonation and ultraviolet radiation, conventional chlorination is able to provide a residual to reduce the chance of pathogen regrowth in water storage tanks or within the water distribution system. At times, distribution systems can be a fair distance from the storage tanks and in dead end sections or where water is not used pathogens may re-grow if a proper (chlorine) residual is cannot be maintained in the treated water sent out for consumption. This results in poor water quality as well as slime and biofilms in the distribution systems that will end up contaminating the clean, treated water being distributed. We will also cover chlorination for wastewater treatment and general laboratory procedures.
