Q2) Disinfection
Given:
Flow rate of water = 2000 m^3/h
Chlorine residual required in effluent = 0.5 mg/L
Initial chlorine concentration in influent water = 2 mg/L
Chlorine decay rate in disinfection tank = 0.05 per hour
Disinfection tank volume = 300 m^3
Calculate:
o Calculate the chlorine demand in the influent water:
o Calculate the chlorine dosage required:
o Calculate the chlorine dosage rate:
o Calculate the actual chlorine dosage rate considering chlorine decay:
