Full Description

A new chlorination approach has been developed for assessing disinfection byproduct (DBP) formation under constant, yet representative conditions. The rationale used in the development of the uniform conditions (UFC) test and the results of a parametric sensitivity analysis are presented. Within the acceptable range of conditions, the DBP formation varied by less than 4 percent for the three waters examined. UFC test results will allow a direct comparison of DBP formation among different waters and allow the evaluation of how treatment changes affect DBP formation in a specific water. Includes 28 references, tables, figures.
