Wastewater Technology Fact Sheet Ozone Disinfection
Disinfection is considered to be the primary mechanism for the inactivation/destruction of pathogenic organisms to prevent the spread of waterborne diseases to downstream users and the environment. It is important that wastewater be adequately treated prior to disinfection in order for any disinfectant to be effective. Table 1 lists some common microorganisms found in domestic wastewater and the diseases associated with them.

Section 5.4 Disinfection with Chlorine Dioxide
1. Characters of chlorine dioxide
• ClO2 is a yellowish‐green gas with acrid odor under room temperature.
• Extremely unstable, both gas and liquid chlorine dioxide are explosive. Thus it should be prepared on site and used as aqueous solution.
• Soluble in water with a solubility 5 times of the chlorine’s; and It exists in water as dissolved gas, without any hydrolysis.

Disinfection of Drinking Water
The goal of water disinfection is the inactivation of microorganisms, such as viruses, bacteria and protozoa, which can cause serious illnesses and death. Although disinfection can be accomplished to a significant extent by a number of physiochemical water treatment processes, such as coagulation, sedimentation, filtration, lime-soda softening and adsorption, a specific chemical disinfection step is usually incorporated into surface water treatment process trains to prevent the transmission of waterborne diseases.

Disinfection Practices for Water – Basic
. Chemical and physical relationships govern all disinfection chemistry
. Knowledge of these relationships increases operator skills and troubleshooting abilities
. Allows operators to control conditions that optimize disinfection practices
. Treatment processes are managed to disinfect water for consumption and to meet regulatory objectives
. Minimum disinfectant residuals
. CT compliance - demonstration of efficient disinfection
