The Disinfection Efficacy of Chlorine on Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria and Iron Bacteria in Water Supply Systems

Abstract:

Sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) and iron reducing bacteria (IRB) that widely exist in water supply networks are the main microorganisms leading to metal corrosion in pipelines. Chlorine is widely used in drinking water supply systems. The concentration of chlorine with SRB declined rapidly after 10 mins and reached 0 mg/L finally whereas it decreased more slowly with IRB. If the concentration of chlorine is lower than 0.2mg/L, IRB cannot be sterilized. It indicates that at the end of water pipes where the concentration of chlorine is required to be 0.05mg/L, chlorine is not effective since the concentration is below the minimum requirement of removing IRB
