Understanding Ultraviolet Light The Ultraviolet Spectrum   Categories of UV Light
How UV disinfection works DNA Replication   UV light instantly alters the DNA of pathogens rendering them unable to reproduce  (sterile)
UV Dose is the product of : Intensity  X Residence Time (Quantity of UV Light per  (Contact Time in UV Reactor) unit Area Falling on a Surface) UV Dose is expressed in  mJ/cm 2  (Millijoules per centimeter square) mWsec/cm 2  (Milliwatt second per centimeter square) μ Wsec/cm 2  (Microwatt second per centimeter square) UV Dose Calculation
Factors Influencing UV Dose Water Quality Factors UV Transmittance (UVT) Turbidity Hardness & Water Chemistry – Quartz Sleeve Fouling Flow Rate Faster Flow means decrease in UV Dose Slower Flow means increase in UV Dose Lamp Age and Operating Temperature UV Lamps lose output (UVI) over time UV Lamps lose output outside optimal operating temp range
Water UV Transmittance (%UVT) The amount of UV light from a UV lamp that can transmit through a sample of water – usually reported for a path length of 1 cm. UVT is expressed in percentage value, %UVT  The higher the %UVT- the more UV Light transmitted through water Distilled water  = 99 %UVT Tap Water = 85-95% UVT   1cm water layer UV Light transmitting through the water
Turbidity (NTU)   Turbidity is a measure of Suspended Solids in the water  It is expressed in Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU)  Turbidity levels over 1 NTU  can shield microorganisms  from the UV lights,  making the UV disinfection  less effective
Hardness & Iron    High level of Hardness and Iron can contribute to significant Fouling and Scaling of Quartz Sleeve which in terms lowers the UV Transmittance affecting the overall disinfection performance Cleaning Mechanism is therefore necessary to eliminate the Fouling/Scaling problem
Why UV? Features & Benefits Broad-Spectrum microbial barrier Real-time monitoring for effective disinfection Low cost alternative No disinfection by-products Small footprint – easily retrofitted Easily serviced/maintained/monitored No environmental risk  Low energy consumption “ UV disinfection is the silver bullet”
Crossfire Technology versus Conventional UV design Incorporating self-cleaning and UV Intensity sensors Conventional Technology Crossfire Technology
“ Light in a pipe” The Challenges of Conventional UV Technology
Light in a pipe System Challenges: Inefficient use of UV  Light  UV Shadowing  Quartz fouling Sensor fouling Quartz breakage, quartz & mercury in water Over-heating The Challenges of Conventional UV Technology Light in a pipe Particle UV Shadow Mineral Coating Particle UV Shadow

Editor's Notes

  • #16 Inefficient Single pass light, UV light lost when photon hits pipe wall 2. UV Shadowing - Large particles in water create shadow with no UV light 3. Quartz fouls with minerals and metals System needs to be drained and quartz removed and cleaned with acid. 4. Quartz breakage - Quartz pieces hard to remove – potential danger Lamp breakage may cause mercury in water 5. Overheating - No Water Flow During long periods with no flow - causes low UV lamp output
  • #27 Biologically safe drinking water, readily accessible, worldwide, one glass at a time. To ensure Pure, Safe Water – ALWAYS!
