Residual Management

Residual management is an essential aspect of maintaining water quality management. It refers to the process of maintaining a residual amount of chlorine disinfectant in drinking water to ensure that it remains safe to drink by killing harmful microorganisms that may be present in the water.

Disinfectants such as chlorine, chloramine, and ozone are commonly used to treat drinking water to eliminate harmful bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. However, the disinfectant must remain in the water high enough level to ensure that the water stays safe as it travels through pipes and storage tanks to reach consumers.

Disinfectant residual management involves monitoring the level of disinfectant in the water supply and adjusting the dosage as needed to maintain the proper amount of residual. The goal is to ensure that the disinfectant is present at a level sufficient to provide protection against waterborne diseases, and to counteract the effects of water age and nitrification. 

Effective disinfectant residual management requires a combination of regular monitoring, careful dosage adjustments, and proper maintenance of water treatment equipment.
