A Closer Look at Chlorination

Chlorination has been used as a method of disinfecting drinking water for over 100 years and remains one of the most widely used technologies throughout the world. There are a wide range of considerations for water system operators to ensure that chlorination is both safe and effective.
The ‘Closer Look at Chlorination’ workshop covered topics such as:
- Why we chlorinate and how chlorine helps to protect customers
- Understanding the conditions where chlorine will work best
- Real-life examples of system risks
- Liquid chlorine dosing systems
- Gas chlorine dosing systems
- Key chemical safety risks and management
- Day to day operation of systems and network
- Open forum: the importance of chlorination
