AWWA-20651 The Ultraviolet Disinfection Handbook
A complete introduction and technical guide to the use of ultraviolet light systems for the disinfection of drinking water.
Here is a complete introduction and guide to UV technologies for the disinfection of drinking water.
The Ultraviolet Disinfection Handbook describes the powerful
capabilities of ultraviolet light as a water disinfectant. It explains in
detail UV how UV inactivates and makes harmless microbes by altering their DNA.
It tells you how UV is measured and dosed to inactivate any type of microbe in
your source water. You will understand how UV can fit into your specific
treatment scheme, whether yours is a large, medium or small system using
filtered or unfiltered water, an uncovered reservoir, groundwater, or surface
water. The book describes the effects of turbidity, algae, and other water
quality issues on UV performance, as well as pretreatment that may be needed prior
to UV, such as filtration or chlorine reduction.You can use The
Ultraviolet Disinfection Handbook to help you plan, purchase, install,
and operate a UV installation. The book provides the specific information you
need to know about UV equipment: major classes of UV water treatment systems,
types of UV lamps, UV sensors, sleeves, power needs, and control
equipment.
In addition, chapters provide complete guidance and information on key design
issues, including UV transmittance; equipment fouling and aging; equipment
location, layout, and site constraints; flow and hydraulics; and electric
power. It also explains USEPA requirements for validation of UV reactor
performance prior to startup, plus operational requirements. You also will find
helpful information on UV cost estimating.
