This slide presentation outlines information on the evolution of disinfection design practices. Topics covered include: the problem of disinfection byproducts and recalcitrant
pathogens; realization of issue of hydraulic
imperfections (t10 does not cut it) and
balancing objectives (DBPs); maximum
segregation paradigm; idealized batch
disinfection curves; histogram of differences (all
Organisms); rational vs "ct"
method (Giardia,
free chlorine); problems with 3rd
generation methods; vision for Generation 4.0; missing pieces; ozone kinetics considering water quality; pilot chlorine contactor; and, residual prediction.
