Chemicals for water disinfection

The present handbook is a modest contribution to the knowledge of the chemical disinfection behaviour and specifications. Emphasis is given to the fact that optimum disinfection is made up of an appropriate selection of steps. Each of them must guarantee a foreseeable performance (barrier treatment concept) and the use of disinfectant should be normally delayed as much as possible, that is after other organic and inorganic pollutants have been removed.
