A CMFR will be used to reduce the concentration of chloroform(CHCl3) in water. Chloroform is a disinfection by-product that is formed when chlorine is used to disinfect water; it is a concern because it can cause cancer.The influent water contains 60 ppb chloroform and the Wisconsin State standard is 6 ppb. Chloroform decays in the reactor at a rate of 0.2 hr-1 and the water flow rate is 100 L/day.
Treating the water to meet the Wisconsin standard will reduce the lifetime cancer risk for ingesting the water to 10-5.Although this is within the range of the EPA risk guidelines (10-4to 10-7), the public is concerned about the presence of a carcinogenic compound in their water. Determine the size (in L) of the reactor necessary to achieve (a)a risk of 10-5(6 ppb) and (b)a risk of 10-7(0.06 ppb).How do the two reactors compare? Do you think it will be worth the extra cost to reduce the risk from 10-5to 10-7?
