Evaluate water
disinfection options from a security standpoint with guidance form this book.
Disinfectant selection is central to the design and operation of
drinking water, wastewater, and reuse systems. Selecting
Disinfectants in a Security-Conscious Environment provides a
systematic method for evaluating disinfectants to meet your requirements. With
this book, you can compare disinfection options consistently, taking into
account operational issues, process and supply-chain reliability, environmental
issues, and security considerations. The guide will help you
evaluate disinfectants that meet your utility's needs from both a
water-quality and a security perspective. The book provides tables
that let you compare various disinfectants side-by-side. The tables list
the advantages, disadvantages, typical uses, effectiveness, regulations,
relative costs, safety and security considerations, and other relevant
parameters, for:
- free chlorine (gas,
sodium or calcium hypochlorite, on-site generated hypochlorite)
- chloramines
- ultraviolet light
- ozone
- chlorine dioxide
Safety and security have become key considerations for water and
wastewater utilities in choosing disinfectants. In some cases, the cost of
safety and security provisions can significantly affect the feasibility of
disinfection options. Selecting Disinfectants in a Security-Conscious Environment provides a
scientific methodology to expertly analyze and quantify safety and security
risks and costs for any type of disinfectant.
The information presented is consistent with the US Environmental
Protection Agency's water utility security guidelines and the Department
of Homeland Security Chemical Facility Antiterrorism Standards.
