Abstract

This chapter introduces three areas of waste chlorination: (a) wastewater chlorination, (b) sludge-biosolids chlorination and stabilization, and (c) septage chlorination and stabilization. Each waste chlorination area further covers the subjects of process description, glossary, design considerations, operation considerations, process equipment, process control, design examples, and application examples.
