开发了一种模拟配送系统（SDS）方法来预测配送系统中可能形成的消毒副产物（DBPs）的数量。选择该方法的参数（氯剂量、培养温度和培养保持时间）来模拟处理厂和分配系统的条件。在配送系统中使用游离氯时，对南加州配送系统的大都会水区进行了一项研究。第二项研究是对美国东部一家公用事业公司的水进行的。两项研究都表明，SDS样本与从分销系统收集的样本之间存在良好的相关性。包括15个参考文献、表格和图表。

A simulated distribution system (SDS) method has been developed to predict the amounts of disinfection by-products (DBPs) that would form in a distribution system. The parameters (chlorine dosage, incubation temperature, and incubation holding time) of the method are chosen to simulate the conditions of the treatment plant and the distribution system. A study was conducted on the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California's distribution system at a time when free chlorine was being used in the distribution system. A second study was conducted on water from a utility in the eastern United States. Both studies showed good correlation between the SDS samples and the samples collected from the distribution systems. Includes 15 references, tables, figures.
