| dc.description.abstract | Disinfection in wastewater treatment
plants is an essential part of the daily process. It
can be said that the majority of municipal
wastewater treatment plants utilize chlorine in gas
or liquid as their primary method for treating their
daily water flow. Recently, studies to analyze
various alternative disinfectant products have been
carried out. This work presents a review analysis of
the disinfection efficiency and the advantages and
disadvantages of implementing peracetic acid as
the main source of disinfection in a wastewater
effluent. It also presents the first and only
municipal wastewater treatment plant in Puerto
Rico to implement peracetic acid as its main
effluent disinfection chemical. The investigative
review has concluded that peracetic acid is an
effective disinfectant in treating municipal
wastewaters. Given the various advantages like
safety, economic and operational improvements it
can be said that the use of peracetic acid as a
disinfectant is a validated alternative to the
traditional use of chlorine.
