Author(s): Dessalegn Geleta Ebsa* and Wakjira Takala Dibaba
Disinfection By-Products (DBPs) have heterogeneous structures, which are suspected carcinogens as a result of reactions between Natural Organic Matter and oxidants/disinfectants such as chlorine. Because of variability in DBPs characteristics, eliminate completely from drinking water by single technique is impossible and it have been considered as toxic contaminants of water. Disinfection By-product is another problem available in water supply treatment in the distribution system. The objective of this study was evaluating the performance of Jimma town water distribution networks of water treatment plant. Hence, the study was addressed, efficiency of conventional water treatment plant unit, chlorination and disinfection and disinfection by-product. To evaluate the water treatment plant simulation WatPro v4, tool was applied for disinfection and treatment plant performance. As per the .. Read More»
