This report provides an overview of the disinfection practices used in water and wastewater treatment. Chlorine historically has been the disinfectant of choice for both water and wastewater, but with increased research and more stringent regulations, other disinfectants, namely ozone and ultraviolet irradiation, are being considered. The report summarizes the present and future applications of these technologies and defines possible opportunities for Demand- Side Management (DSM).
