A treatment system treating 1.0 m3
/s of water includes a filter followed by a
chlorine contact chamber for removal/inactivation of pathogens. The pathogen concentration
going into the filter is 2,500 pathogens/L. The filter is known to remove 2.5 log of pathogens.
The disinfection system is being designed to reduce the pathogen concentration by 95.2%.
Pathogens are inactivated by chlorine via first order kinetics with a reaction rate constant of
4.0/hr.
a. What is the concentration of pathogens in the outlet of the chlorination tank?
b. What is the volume of the chlorination tank?
