Computational modeling of ultraviolet disinfection
The efficient design of ultraviolet light (UV) systems for water and wastewater treatment requires detailed knowledge of the patterns of fluid motion that occur in the disinfection channel. This knowledge is increasingly being obtained using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software packages that solve the equations governing turbulent fluid-flow motion. In this work, we present predictions of ...

Virus contamination from operation and maintenance events in small drinking water distribution systems
We tested the association of common events in drinking water distribution systems with contamination of household tap water with human enteric viruses. Viruses were enumerated by qPCR in the tap water of 14 municipal systems that use non-disinfected groundwater. Ultraviolet disinfection was installed at all active wellheads to reduce virus contributions from groundwater to the distribution ...

Biodosimetry of a full-scale uv disinfection system to achieve regulatory approval for wastewater reuse
In order to respond to the stringent disinfection requirements for reclaimed wastewater in the United States, Ozonia North America (ONA) undertook a bioassay validation study of a lowpressure nvery high-output (LPVHO) ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system. The disinfection performance of this process technology was verified via biodosimetry in accordance with the Ultraviolet Disinfection ...

Implementing tier 2 analysis on biodosimetric test results
With both goals to develop a sizing program and an operation matrix the biodosimetric results of an in-line cross-flow reactor equipped with 6 medium pressure lamps were analyzed per the US EPA Ultraviolet Disinfection Guidance Manual (UVDGM) Tier 2 approach. Using a Tier 1 analysis was quickly ruled out for this reactor, as the surrogate microorganism used during biodosimetry was B. subtilis ...
