This slide presentation outlines information on an annular reactor study on the
effectiveness of ClO2 in
controlling biological growth
in open-air basins. The objectives of the study included: studying the effectiveness of ClO2 in controlling
biological growth in open air basins
(HPC, AODC, Chlorophyll-a);
compare Cl2 and ClO2;and,
chlorite, chlorate, bromate, disinfection byproduct
formation. Results of the study include: both continuous and intermittent ClO2
potentially at least as effective as Cl2 in
controlling biological growth;
about 70 µg/L AOX and 25 µg/L TTHM
due to Cl2;TTHM <10 µg/L for ClO2;and,
bromate formation below detection limit. Also, a pilot study is discussed that studied the effect of pre-ClO2 on:
coagulation,
settled turbidity, UV-absorbance, TOC;
ozonation, UV-absorbance, residual ozone, DBP;and,
filtration, particle count, headloss, turbidity.
