Description:

Previous pilot-plant investigations conducted by the Evansville, Indiana Water and Sewer Utility confirmed the effectiveness of chlorine dioxide treatment for reducing trihalomethane formation. hese investigations resulted in a shift away from the utilities pre-chlorination practices and the implementation of raw water disinfection/oxidation using chlorine dioxide. or the past eight years, this treatment alternation has proven effective in maintaining Evansville's total trihalomethane level well below the Promulgated maximum contaminant level of 0-1 mg/L. econd research endeavor is focused on the parallel pilot-plant evaluation of the disinfection alternatives of chlorine dioxide and ozone and the reduction of residual concentrations of chlorine dioxide and the inorganic by-product ions of chlorite dioxide and the inorganic by-product ions of chlorited and chlorate.
