O2O2 Microwave UV An Everlasting Bulb? BCWWA May 2006 Paul OCallaghan R.P.Bio O 2 ENVIRONMENTAL

O2O2 Objective Introduce a new way of generating UV light –Uses Microwave energy as opposed to electrical energy –As a result, bulbs do not blow

O2O2 Structure of Presentation Introduction to UV Disinfection –What is UV Light? –How is it generated? –Brief History of UV Technology Describe how new technology works Discuss Advantages, Disadvantages & Costs

O2O2 What is UV Light? UV is part of the electromagnetic spectrum

O2O2 What is UV Light? UVA315 – 400 nm Sun tanning UVB280 – 315nm Sun burning UVC200 – 280nm Skin cancer Vacuum Ultraviolet 100 – 200nm

O2O2 UVC A Natural Disinfectant Absorbed by DNA and RNA Inhibits the ability of micro-organisms to replicate Effective wavelength is at 265nm

O2O2 History of UV Technology UV Inactivation of Micro-organisms first discovered 1878 Major Advancement in 1970s due to –Concerns about chlorine by-products –Stringent Permits for chlorine disinfection byproducts –Safety Concerns re handling of chlorine gas Today UV Disinfectant of choice for wastewater –Effective against all bacteria and viruses –No chlorine by-products –Enables re-use of wastewater

O2O2 How is UV Light Generated? Electrons enter an excited state and on return to a lower energy state they emit energy as radiation Typically generated using an electric current- electrode in a bulb. –Low Pressure –Low Pressure High Output –Medium Pressure

O2O2 Challenges with Electrode Bulbs High failure rate – bulbs blow Bulbs have to be replaced every 8,000 hours Up to 100% Redundancy Required Output degrades over time

O2O2 An Alternative ….. Microwave Generated UV Uses Microwave energy to excite the gas particles to emit UV Light

O2O2 How the System is Assembled 4 Bundles in a ModuleMicrowave Source FittedPlaced in Channel

O2O2 Title 22 Testing underway…

O2O2 Microwave UV Advantages –Bulb warranted for three years. –UVC output is constant throughout life of bulb –Only 20% redundancy required –All serviceable parts are above the waterline –Lower Whole of Life Costs Disadvantages –Magnetrons have to be replaced –Power supply has to be replaced –Magnetrons are quite large results in minimum spacing –Some attenuation of energy in the wave guide
