Factors affecting disinfection 1. Time of contactr 2. Concentration of disinfectant 3. Temperature.
Chlorine chemistry : 1. First used in 1902 for water treatment 2. Used in 1924 in baghdad 3. Available in many forms.
Forms of chlorine: 1. Free available chlorine. 2. Combined available chlorine
Sludge treatment Sewage sludge consist of organic and inorganic solids The specific gravity of in organics is 2.5 while organic matte has a specific gravity of 1.01; Approximatly, 60% of suspended solids will be removed in primary clarifier.
