Calculation
“Required by Law”
Math for Water Technology

(pg. 468)
C.T calculation
• “C” is the concentration of chlorine,
• “T” is the amount of time the water has
been in contact with chlorine before the
first user.
• Calculated daily and compared against
the EPA CT “Required” Table
EPA rules states - “Measurements must be taken on the same
day of the week, every week, for one year (52 measurements),
during peak hourly flow for that day. Data can be measured
manually or with on-line instrumentation.”
.
CT
Calculation Problems
• To calculate the contact time T, the results
of a recent tracer study must be used!!
• The peak flow must be measured from the
effluent side of the clearwell or contact
chamber, NOT the flow through the plant.
• The chlorine residual, pH, and temperature
values used to calculate CT must be measured
at the effluent side of the clearwell or contact
chamber, or before the first user.
CT Calculation Problems
• When using the EPA CT tables, make sure you
round down for temperature, and
round up for pH.
• log-reduction must equal 3.0 for Giardia
For surface water systems without
filtration, the Surface Water
Treatment Rule requires public water
systems to?

C•T units= mg/L• min or mg •min/L
Required C•T
CTrequired is # established by EPA to provide
log inactivation. Based on Giardia cysts. Look
up in charts
Disinfection C•T Calculation
C•T actual =[Residual chlorine]•hydraulic
detention time•baffle factor (table)
Hydraulic detention time = volume/flow rate
C•Tact/ CTreq= ratio must be > or = to 1.
C•Tact/ CTreq > 1.0
“You want to make sure that you are actually
meeting the necessary requirements”
Disinfection C•T Rules
1.Chlorine residuals used for C•T
calculations are measured after
contact, but before first customer.
2. Contact times are determined by
calculating the hydraulic detention
time (HDT) as water flows through
pipes and tanks. Based on highest
flow of day.
Disinfection C•T Rules
3. Water flowing through pipes
provides contact times that are
equal to the calculated HDT.
Circular or rectangular tanks used
for contact time are given only
partial credit due to short
circuiting.
