Wastewater treatment is one of the main problems of development and urbanization of the Arctic regions. This article is devoted to the development of a method for assessing the degree of water purification in order to determine the optimum operating parameters of treatment reactors for water treatment by ferrates from industrial and household waste resulting from the development of Arctic regions. Experiments reflecting the influence of the amount of air supplied to the purification plant on the processes of mixing and distribution of water were carried out and analyzed. Based on the experimental data, a method for determining the optimum operating parameters of a new mobile water purification plant has been developed and applied. The operation of the plant is based on the use of the ferrate method. equations and dependencies describing the relationship between the reactor volume, liquid flow rate and the degree of water purification are given. The degree of water pollution is estimated as its fraction which has left the reactor before the time required for complete treatment of the liquid from the moment it enters i the reactor. Optimal parameters of the ferrate reactor, such as volume and air supply, for a mobile water treatment plant were determined.
