Inactivation of Pathogens With Innovative UV Technologies

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).
