Abstract
Conventional disinfection of drinking water consists of disinfectant addition only within the treatment plant, which must provide adequate residuals within the distribution system. Booster disinfection - the application of additional disinfectant within the distribution system - may reduce the total amount of disinfectant applied to the distribution system while maintaining adequate residuals. A mixed-integer linear programming model was developed to determine the optimal scheduling and location of booster stations, and solved using commercially available software. The optimization model was applied to a sample network to illustrate the potential of booster disinfection to reduce the amount of disinfectant applied to the system while maintaining adequate residuals.
