In a treatment plant, chlorine is primarily used as a disinfectant to eliminate harmful pathogens and bacteria from water, ensuring it is safe for consumption. Additionally, chlorine can help control algae growth and reduce odors. It may also be involved in the oxidation of certain contaminants, enhancing overall water quality. Proper management of chlorine levels is crucial to balance effectiveness and safety for public health.
