Bioassay and dose measurement in UV disinfection.

بررسی امکان گندزدایی پساب تصفیه خانه فاضلاب شمال اصفهان توسط سیستم های گندزدای کم فشار و فشار متوسط فرابنفش در مقیاس پایلوت

Backgrounds and Objectives:Today, due to health, environmental and economical problems, of chlorine application, UV radiation is better option than chlorine for disinfection of effluent. The aim of this study was disinfection of secondary effluent with UV radiation.Materials and Methods: Two types of UV disinfection system including low pressure (LP) and medium pressure (MP) was used to disinfe...

Disinfection Efficiency and Dose Measurement of Polychromatic UV Light

Geometry Defeaturing Effects in CFD Model-Based Assessment of an Open-Channel-Type UV Wastewater Disinfection System

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a popular tool in the water industry for assessing ultraviolet (UV) reactor performance. However, due to the size of open-channel-type UV reactor systems, the CFD model requires significant computational time. Thus, most evaluations have been conducted using very simplified models. In order to ensure the reliability of this simplified CFD model, precise num...

Synergistic effect of the sequential use of UV irradiation and chlorine to disinfect reclaimed water.

The effectiveness of UV and chlorination, used individually and sequentially, was investigated in killing pathogenic microorganisms and inhibiting the formation of disinfection by-products in two different municipal wastewaters for the source water of reclaimed water, which were from a microfilter (W1) and membrane bioreactor (W2) respectively. Heterotrophic plate count (HPC), total bacteria co...

Impact of Particle Aggregated Microbes on UV Disinfection. II: Proper Absorbance Measurement for UV Fluence

Ultraviolet UV absorbance measurements are subject to significant error using a standard spectrophotometer when particles or aggregates that scatter light are present. True UV absorbance for highly turbid waters should be measured using integrating sphere IS spectrophotometry that allows the collection of reflected and transmitted radiation simultaneously. This is especially important when the ...
