Data and information for problems 18 and 19
A municipality is evaluating water sources that could be used to provide additional water for their city (due to population growth, there is an increased demand that cannot be met using their current water supply). The city's engineers intend to use Cl2 as the disinfectant. Assume that the following chlorine breakpoint curve was determined for one of the candidate water supplies. The graph was prepared using data collected in a laboratory test in which progressively higher doses of Cl2 were added to the water and then the total chlorine residual was measured.
Draw an arrow to indicate the location of the "breakpoint" on the curve shown above.
Assume that 1.5 million gallons per day (MGD) will be treated from the water supply exhibiting the breakpoint curve shown in the preceding problem. The free chlorine residual concentration leaving the water treatment plant is to be 1.0mgL.Cl2 will be delivered to the facility in cylinders that each contain 150 pounds Cl2. The design engineer would like to have storage capacity to store a two week supply of chlorine. Based on this information, the number of cylinders that they should plan for when designing the storage area should be most nearly?
