Drinking water supplies in Ireland are predominantly sourced from surface waters or groundwaters influenced by surface water. In recent reports on “The Provision and Quality of Drinking Water in Ireland” the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found that 81.6% originates from surface water (i.e. rivers and lakes) with the remainder originating from groundwater (10.3%) and springs (8%). Source waters, susceptible to surface contamination, particularly surface waters and groundwater and spring sources contain micro-organisms such as bacteria, viruses and protozoan parasites (e.g. Cryptosporidium) which can present a risk to human health if not effectively treated and disinfected. Since 2008 the EPA has set out as its policy that the most effective means of consistently ensuring the safety of a drinking water supply is through the use of a comprehensive risk assessment and risk management approach that encompasses all steps in water supply from catchment to consumer. The EPA has advised Water Service Authorities to implement the World Health Organisation (WHO) Water Safety Plan approach to risk assessment and risk management.

Chlorination: Disinfection And Oxidation
• Disease causing organisms can be found in surface water and some in ground water, some can be removed by preliminary, primary and secondary treatments processes. But not all are removed.
• The addition of a chemical disinfectant is necessary if a water treatment processes is to meet the coliform MCL, preventing any water borne diseases.
• Cl2, due to it relatively low cost & ease with which it be obtained is the most commonly used chemical for this purpose.
• Chlorine is available in 3 forms:
1. Chlorine Gas
2. Calcium or Sodium Hypochlorite solution
3. Calcium or Sodium Hypochlorite powder (HTH)

Disinfection, Chlorination and Oxidation
Chlorination: application of chlorine to water, generally for the purpose of disinfection, but also for other purposes such as odor control.
Disinfection: the addition of chlorine, ozone, UV light, etc. to water in order to kill or inactivate disease causing organisms; effectiveness measured using the coliform test.

Cleaning And Disinfection Procedures For Filmtec Membrane
The following are general recommendations for cleaning FilmTec™ NF 200 and NF270 Elements. More detailed procedures for cleaning a nanofiltration (NF) system are typically included in the operating manual provided by the system supplier. It should be emphasized that frequent cleaning is not required for a properly designed and properly operated NF system, however because of the NF 200 and NF270 membrane’s unique combination of pH range and temperature resistance, cleaning may be accomplished very effectively.

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.
