Process for disinfecting water by controlling oxidation/reduction potential

摘要

A method is disclosed for the treatment of water, containing an oxidizing agent, flowing through a conduit or contained in a vessel. The oxidation reduction potential or the ORP of the water is continuously measured at a sensing position and a reducing agent is fed to the water in response to the measured ORP to neutralize the oxidizing agent and maintain a desired concentration of reducing agent residuals in the water at the second sensing position.
