Abstract
A conceptual model for the analysis of the disinfection process for wastewater was developed. Sample cases included (1) very low chlorine demand and high rate of mixing and (2) a chlorine demand much higher than the chlorine dose and limited mixing. Several conclusions were reached as a result of simulation studies. First, the curves have the declining rate feature often seen in the disinfection of wastewater. Second, even at a very high rate of disinfectant decomposition, substantial inactivation can occur over time intervals greater than the lifetime of measurable chlorine in solution. Third, the ratio of chlorine feed flow to wastewater flow may have a substantial influence on inactivation efficiency. An area of disagreement between model and experimental results was the effect of turbulence on disinfection efficiency.
