Role of typical pipes in disinfection chemistry within drinking water distribution system

Deep insight into the forces driving chloramine decay in different pipe materials is the key to taking sound action to cope with pipe water quality deterioration. By using the newly developed RTCDM (refined Total Chloramine Decay Model) and pipe section reactor, the role of four typical pipes in dis...
