The intent of this course is to cover the advanced concepts of drinking water disinfection and fluoridation. Topics include history of disinfection, causes of waterborne diseases and disinfection goals. Theory of disinfection, design, and operation as well as "disinfection by-products" are discussed. Technologies covered include chlorination, ozone, UV and alternate disinfection methods. Maintenance and calibration procedures used in monitoring equipment for both disinfection and fluoridation are also addressed. Prerequisite: WTTP 1800 and WTTP 1820 and WTTP 1830 and WTTP 1850 and WTTP 1860 and WTTP 1870 and WTTP 2760 or equivalent. Note: Students will only receive credit for one of WTTP 2741 or WTTP 2740.
