Selecting Disinfectants in a Security-Conscious Environment

Disinfectant selection is central to the design and operation of drinking water, wastewater, and reuse systems. Selecting Disinfectants in a Security-Conscious Environment provides a systematic method for evaluating disinfectants to meet your requirements. With this book, you can compare disinfection options consistently, taking into account operational issues, process and supply-chain reliability, environmental issues, and security considerations. The guide will help you evaluate disinfectants that meet your utility's needs from both a water-quality and a security perspective. The book provides tables that let you compare various disinfectants side-by-side, and list the advantages, disadvantages, typical uses, effectiveness, regulations, relative costs, safety and security considerations, and other relevant parameters. The information presented is consistent with the US Environmental Protection Agency's water utility security guidelines and the Department of Homeland Security Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards.
