Determine the number of kilograms of chlorine needed per day

Reference no: EM13559228

Consider again the proposed water treatment plant for a city of 100,000 people where the maximum daily water usage rate is 99 X 106 L/d. Determine (a) the number of kilograms of chlorine needed per day and (b) the capacity of the contact tank. You may assume that the chlorine demand is 1.0 mg/L and that the desired chlorine residual is 0.2 mg/L. Furthermore, you may assume that the minimum contact time should be 30 minutes. (The contact time in water treatment plants is usually provided by a large storage chamber called a clear well or storage reservoir. The primary function of the clear well is to isolate the plant from the hourly fluctuation of municipal water demand, but it also serves the purpose of allowing sufficient time so that the concentration of free available chlorine will stabilize at the proper value before being pumped to users.)
