Abstract

Disinfection in water treatment has a long tradition. In the course of time, five processes/agents have established themselves in water technology.
  • Free chlorine
  • Chlorine dioxide
  • Ozone
  • Chloramine (combined chlorine)
  • Ultraviolet light
This chapter shows the different characteristics of the five types of disinfection. The necessary elements of the installations and basic information for dimensioning are also showed for all processes/agents. Furthermore pros and cons of the different types are discussed and some practical hints and examples are introduced.
