Description: Design and Operation Considerations for PAA Disinfection Systems
Design and Operation Considerations for PAA Disinfection Systems
Abstract
Peracetic acid (PAA) is a wastewater disinfection alternative that is gaining interest due to its ability to provide bacterial inactivation performance at costs competitive to mature technologies. In addition to potential cost savings, the ability to provide treatment for challenging effluent while meeting stringent disinfection by-products (DBP) limits is driving this interest. To respond to this interest, it is necessary to develop engineering design criteria that will aid decision-makers understanding of the cost implications, as well as obtain local regulatory support for implementation of PAA disinfection. This paper provides an overview of the chemistry and current US applications of PAA. A discussion of engineering design and cost considerations for implementation is provided for this disinfection alternative.
