Abstract

Evaluates the bacterial and viral inactivation efficiencies of several innovative ultraviolet technologies for use in both drinking water and treated wastewater. Includes cost considerations, potential scale-up issues, and comparison of inactivation performance to that of low-pressure systems. Reports on the effect of the spectrum and its intensity on the received UV dose for each lamp technology. Research partners: USEPA and WERF. Published in 2004 as two reports: Bridging Pilot-Scale Testing to Full-Scale Design of UV Disinfection Systems (Order 90991) and Inactivation of Pathogens With Innovative UV Technologies (91024).
