Development of mathematical model for determining the quantity of chlorine required for water treatment.

In this paper, mathematical model for determining the quantities of chlorine required for water treatment was developed by considering the inter-relationship between water quality parameter such as temperature (T), pH and coliform counts (B) and the quantities of chlorine (Q2) required for treatment. The developed model equations were found to be. Q2 =   0.001836 0.003836 0.000218 10 13.6782 pH B T     (Kg). Comparison of the results from the simulation of these models and experimental data show a good prediction with correlation coefficients of 0.9949.
