The use of ultraviolet (UV) to treat drinking water has become more prevalent since it was found to be effective to inactivate Cryptosporidium. Although UV is a proven technology, there are some myths surrounding its use. This webcast provides basic information about UV and how it disinfects drinking water. The regulations regarding the application of UV are examined to clarify CT calculations (C is the disinfectant concentration and T is the contact time) and Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (LT2ESWTR) disinfection credits.

Water utilities are faced with ongoing challenges in the effort to continuously comply with Disinfection By-Products (DBP) regulations. The Stage 2 DBP Rule requires control of disinfection by-products while the Long-Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule may require elevated disinfection requirements. There are several strategies that can be used to achieve the necessary DBP control: precursor removal, alternative disinfectants, and DBP removal. This webcast explores some compliance approaches for these strategies.

The Stage 2 Disinfectant By-Product (DBP) Rule sets stringent MCLs for DBPs. Some utilities need to reduce levels to meet these regulations. This webcast presents several approaches to control DBPs and reveals how computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling techniques can be used to optimise chlorination and reduce DBP formation. Alternatively, granular activated carbon (GAC) is commonly used for this purpose. Applications where this can be cost-effective are presented.

Speaker: Dr. Jonathan VanderSteen
Date: October 20, 2010
Time: 12 noon – 1 pm
Location: GB303
********************
Many engineers are going abroad to work on water and sanitation issues in developing countries. Dr. VanderSteen will explore the issues associated with working abroad (or “globally”) as engineers on these matters. The link between local and global engineering will be discussed with an emphasis on building skills at the local level before attempting to solve water and sanitation issues abroad.
