Dısınfectants In Potabılızatıon Systems: Aspects For Choice And Application İn İnvestment Plans İn Tropical Countries

Abstract

This article considers aspects and elements for the selection of the appropriate technology for the application of integrated disinfectants to water treatment systems in tropical countries, where the vast majority of these are developing countries and the economic resources for investment are scarce. Given the above, the criteria of maximum flow rate per unit, contact time of the disinfectant, applied dose, application pH within the contact tank, area occupied by the unit, investment, operation and maintenance costs, are some explicit indicators in the choice of the appropriate technology, to guarantee the reliability, complexity and flexibility of disinfectants to eliminate pathogenic microorganisms, more convenient and implicitly in the drinking water treatment system, which adapts to climatic variability in tropical countries
