A method for intermittent chlorine dosing in continuous-flow toxicity tests

摘要: The cooling lines through the condensers in steam electric generating plants frequently become fouled with attached organisms which reduce efficiency and decrease water flow rate. In many a chlorine solution is fed for several short periods each day to treat problem areas then discharged as condenser blow-down. To study toxic effects of these discharges on receiving water, there need an intermittent delivery system simulate down-stream conditions. authors describe composition operation used perform toxicity tests macroinvertebrates. 5 references, 2 figures, 1 table.
