Description
A UV system can be designed using the UVDIS program that was developed by HydroQual in Mahwah, New Jersey. This program was developed as a result of extensive field-testing and is presented in the US EPA Design Manual (United States Environmental Protection Agency, 1986). All the major UV companies use this program. The program takes into account the physical characteristics of the UV system, the effluent quality and the disinfection requirements. Before a UV system is installed in a wastewater treatment plant for disinfecting wastewater, it is important to gather enough information to determine whether it is a suitable application and that the UV system is designed to meet the disinfection requirements under the worst case conditions. This course will give an overview of the major parameters that must be taken into consideration.
