DEFINITION OF SANITIZATION:   

Sanitization is not an absolute phenomenon. It is a partial removal of organisms. Depending on the system, a sanitization operation should reduce the organism population by some 90%. In water, sanitization is frequently defined as a 3-logarithm (log) or 1,000-fold reduction in the number of bacteria. 

THERE ARE TWO BASIC APPROACHES FOR CONTROLLING BACTERIAL GROWTH IN A POTABLE WATER SYSTEM.

• • Constant Sanitization Levels
  • Periodically Sanitizing
