Abstract

This project demonstrated protocols to directly measure the dose-distribution of UV reactors by Lagrangian actinometry using dyed microspheres. The project used these validation results in the context of the EPA Ultraviolet Disinfection Guidance Manual. Tailored Collaboration partner: New York City Department of Environmental Protection. Research Partner: Trojan Technologies, Inc. Published in 2016.
