Abstract
Modifies an existing model of static mixers to model the chemical reactions in both alum coagulation and chlorine disinfection. Investigates the use of static mixers for coagulation using a variety of coagulants, including alum and polymers. Also investigates static mixers for their effectiveness in the initial mixing of chlorine to inactivate pathogens and for their performance in series with dual disinfectants (chlorine and chloramine). Published in 2001.
