The chlorine contact tank of a water treatment plant is 69.5 m3 . The plant is treating water at flow rate of 123456 m3 /week.The applied Ct value for 99.9% removal of Giardia protozoa is about 175 mg.min/L to achieve current drinking water standards. The new water standards need 99.999% removal of the same microbe to save population from Giardia infection. What would be the new chlorine dosage (mg/L) to satisfy the new water standard? Assume no infrastructure change.

The Freundlich isotherm constants (Table 13.2) and K= 190 (mg/g)(L/mg)1/n, and 1/n = 0.33. The water to be treated has a Chlordane concentration of 0.1 mg/L. Since the MCL is 0.002, you must design for an equilibrium concentration of 0.0005 mg/L. The flow rate is 1 MGD. Assume a carbon density of 30 lb/ft3, and a typical carbon column depth of 10 ft. The carbon contractors must provide one year of treatment before new carbon is needed. Specify the following:...
