消毒滞留时间是决定是否符合地表水处理规则的关键因素之一，本研究对其进行了评估，以确定:是否可以使用池内挡板对典型水厂水池进行改造，以提高滞留时间；以及模型盆地能否模拟全尺度系统。研究结果表明，小尺度盆地可以非常精确地模拟矩形和圆形盆地。示踪剂试验表明，使用简单的池内挡板墙可以将T10滞留时间提高到理论滞留时间的60%左右。 包括9个参考文献、表格、图表。

Disinfection detention time, one of the key factors in determining compliance with the Surface Water Treatment Rule, was evaluated in this study to determine: whether typical water plant basins can be modified with intrabasin baffles to improve detention time; and whether model basins can simulate full-scale systems. The results of the work show that both a rectangular and a circular basin can be modeled quite accurately by small-scale basins. Tracer tests showed that T10 detention time can be improved with simple intrabasin baffle walls to approximately 60 percent of theoretical detention time. Includes 9 references, tables, figures.
