In this paper, an index-based approach is proposed to locate chlorine booster stations in a
water distribution network (DN). Chlorination is a common practice for secondary …

In the context of the preservation of the water quality in drinking water distribution systems,
network managers have to maintain chlorine residual during the distribution step. Since the …

Water distribution networks (WDNs) could present problems of pathogen intrusion that affect
the health of consumers. One solution to diminish this risk is to add more disinfectant to the …

The optimum location of booster chlorination stations is worked out along with the
scheduling of booster chlorination stations for the steady-state flow conditions for drinking …

Booster chlorination reduces the risks associated with conventional disinfection such as
high chlorine residuals near water treatment plants and low chlorine residuals at remote …

The impact of implementing an advanced water quality model for simulating the dead-end
sections of drinking water distribution networks on the outcomes of booster chlorination …

The chlorination of drinking water distribution networks is usually carried out at the supply
source. However, chlorine may disappear in some portions or at distant points within a …

Disinfecting the water supplied by a distribution network with chlorine or other disinfectants
directly acts on its quality. Good water quality imposes lower and upper bounds on the …

This study describes a new methodology for the disinfection booster design, placement, and
operation problem in water distribution systems. Disinfectant residuals, which are in most …

The optimization of chlorine dosage and the number of booster locations is an important
aspect of water quality management in distribution networks. Booster chlorination helps to …
