Variable Chlorine Decay Rate Modeling of the Matsapha Town Water Network Using EPANET Program

Abstract: A variable chlorine decay rate modeling of the Matsapha town water network was developed based on initial chlorine dosages. The model was adequately described by a second order rate function of the chlorine decay rate with respect to the initial chlorine dose applied. Simulations of chlorine residuals within the Matsapha water distribution network were run using the EPANET 2.0 program at different initial chlorine dosages and using the variable decay rate as described by the second order model. The measurement… Show more

“…Different methods of disinfection is applied to preserve water quality [1][2][3]. The main reasons to disinfect the drinking water is due to pathogenic microorganisms entering through the drinking water distribution system [4,5]. The residual amount of the disinfectant during storage and distribution of drinking water is the most important factor to select the kind of disinfectant.…”

“…The required time for fast reactions is about 3 to 4 h [7]. Several studies are performed to investigate on the most suitable bulk decay coefficients [3][4][5]10,16]. The SR model is simulated by combined concentration of chlorine and other substances in the kinetic equations of decay.…”
