A treatment plant has been designed to achieve 99 percent inactivation of Giardia Lamblia using chlorine dioxide. The engineer used data on the disinfection of Giardia Lamblia at 20°C for the design, but the plant operates in a northern climate, and current estimates are that the low water temperature in some winters will be 0.5°C. Estimate the expansion required in the contact chamber in order to achieve the same inactivation at that temperature. You may assume complete mixing in the contact chamber and that the inactivation of Giardia Lamblia follows the Chick-Watson relationship.
