a. What is the breakpoint chlorine dosage?
b. What is the chlorine demand at a chlorine dosage of 1.2 mg/L?
c. For a plant that processes 10 m3/hr, how much chlorine should I add per day to reach a constant residual chlorine concentration of 0.7 mg/l
d. Design a chlorine contact tank that would achieve the required Ct value for a 3 log deactivation of Girardia (Ct = 54 mg/l min).
