Water and Wastewater Disinfection
Course Pack: Peracetic Acid Disinfection
Applications with Examples
Course Description
This module provides Applications with Examples training, offering a practical exploration of peracetic acid (PAA) applications in water and wastewater treatment. Learners examine PAA decay behavior, disinfection effectiveness, evaluation methods, system configurations, and pump and control system setups. Through this Applications with Examples training, operators gain practical knowledge of real-world applications, operational considerations, and best practices for implementing PAA treatment systems safely and effectively.
Learning Objectives
1) Interpret PAA decay and residual behavior
2) Evaluate PAA performance using field and bench methods
3) Describe typical PAA system components
4) Review findings from major evaluation studies
5) Apply lessons learned to real-world installations
Agenda
1) PAA decay behavior and factors affecting efficacy
