6 DISINFECTION WATERBORNE MICROORGANISMS
Microorganisms in drinking and waste water represent a risk to Public Health. Bacteria Viruses Protozoa (E.coli) (Hepatitis, Polio) (Giardia) (Cryptosporidium)

7 UV DISINFECTION HOW DOES IT WORK?
UV light at the 254 nm wavelength penetrates the cell wall of the microorganism. The microorganism is “inactivated” and rendered unable to reproduce or infect. UV Energy Cell Wall DNA Nucleic Acid Cytoplasmic Membrane

8 UV AS PART OF MULTI-BARRIER STRATEGY
Typical Chlorine CT for Giardia Chlorine Disinfection Adenovirus UV Dose Typical Design UV dose = 40mJ/cm2 UV Disinfection Dual Protection Rotavirus Second barrier to provide a protection to safeguard drinking water – inactivating virtually all microorganisms treated by chlorine and inactivation chlorine-resistant protozoa (giardia and cyrpto)‏ Poliovirus Hepatitus A Streptococcus Legionella Crypto E.coli Giardia Chlorine CT 8

13 UV DESINFECTION SYSTEMS

14 UV SYSTEM KEY COMPONENTS
Control Panel with Visual Displays & Alarms UV Lamps UV Sensor Power Supply (Ballasts) Quartz Sleeves Sleeve Wiping System Reactor Chamber

15 ADVANTAGES OF UV DISINFECTION
UV disinfection is a physical process No hazardous or toxic chemicals are used, eliminating public health concerns associated with THMs, HAAs or other carcinogenic by-products UV inactivates a broad spectrum of pathogens, including Giardia and Cryptosporidium Inactivation of chlorine-resistant parasites protect downstream recreational waters and surface waters used as a potable water source UV disinfection takes only seconds to inactivate organisms Since the contact times are short, the footprint required is minimal and existing chlorine contact tanks can be reused

16 ADVANTAGES OF UV DISINFECTION
UV disinfection does not leave a residual disinfectant No de-chlorination or residual monitoring is required, which greatly reduces operation and maintenance costs Receiving waters are not negatively impacted and there is no risk of overdosing UV is an accepted, proven technology in thousands of installations around the world UV is easily designed by consulting engineers and approved by regulatory bodies, thereby reducing engineering costs and reducing permit approval time Upgradeable to UV oxidation or photolysis system Treatment process can be upgraded to treat emerging contaminants, offsetting upgrade costs in the future

17 ULTRAVIOLET (UV) LIGHT
“Ultra” Beyond violet light. Consists of electromagnetic energy in the form of vacuum, c,b,a light. UVA is the light that will give us a sun burn Curve- spectral curve of cell inactivation. UVC energy has the greatest potential for cell inactivation

18 UV light penetrates the cell wall
HOW DOES UV WORK? UV light penetrates the cell wall The UV energy permanently alters the DNA of the microorganism Microorganisms are “inactivated” and unable to reproduce or infect UV Energy Cell Wall DNA Nucleic Acid

19 MECHANISM OF UV DISINFECTION
G T UV DNA Double Strand Dimerization of Thymine Nucleotides dimer DNA - DNA is a double helix structure with 4 different nucleotides UV light has enough energy to physically manipulate adjacent thymine groups over thousands of locations throughout the DNA strand through a process called dimerization -because of this dimerization of Thymine nucleotides the bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms can no longer reproduce. Without the ability to reproduce, organisms pass through the host without causing illness.

20 UV Dose = Intensity x Retention Time
DEFINITION OF UV DOSE UV Dose = Intensity x Retention Time (mWs/cm2) (mW/cm2) (seconds) Higher dose means greater DNA damage and more bugs are killed Different bugs require different doses to achieve same kills (e.g. bacteria vs. viruses) There are factors that effect the intensity and the time ultimately effecting dose. Some factors are easily controlled such as equipment parameters and reactor designs however we have little control over the water quality upstream of the UV.

21 Intensity Retention Time
FACTORS AFFECTING UV DOSE Intensity Retention Time Equipment Parameters Lamp Spacing Lamp Age Sleeve Fouling (iron, calcium, etc) Reactor Design Water Quality Factors (related to upstream process) UV Transmittance Turbidity Solids Flow Rate

22 The ability of light to transmit through water
UV TRANSMITTANCE The ability of light to transmit through water The ratio of light entering the water to that exiting the water Sample length of 1 cm UV Transmission Scale: 20% - 50% 50% - 70% > 70% Primary Effluent Blended Effluent Lagoons CSO, SSO Secondary Effluent Filtered Effluent WW Reuse Fixed Film Effluent Post-membrane High-level reuse Contaminant destruction

23 THE EFFECTS OF PARTICLES
UV Lamp Scatter UV Light Complete Penetration Incomplete Penetration  limits DNA damage Shade Particles

24 What is Fouling? QUARTZ SLEEVE FOULING
Accumulation of organic and inorganic material on the quartz surface Absorbs UV light and decreases UV dose available for disinfection All water fouls submerged surfaces Rate of fouling influenced by various site-specific factors (water quality, hydraulics and velocities, sleeve surface condition)

25 LAMP AGING As lamps age the amount of UV output decreases
UV systems should be designed to deliver the required dose at the end of lamp life (EOLL) to ensure disinfection is met under worst case conditions EOLL should be independently validated to guarantee the system meets the disinfection requirements

26 Parameter Description
UV SYSTEM DESIGN CRITERIA Parameter Description Flow Rates Peak and Average Water Quality UV Transmission (%) Total Suspended Solids (mg/l) TSS size and density Total Iron (mg/l) Upstream Treatment Suspended Growth or Fixed Film Filtration? Performance Criteria UV Dose or Disinfection Limit Configuration Footprint or Headloss Limits Redundancy Regulated or preferred

27 UV SYSTEM VALIDATION As microbes flow through a UV reactor they will all follow a different path Some will receive a high dose and some a lower dose To account for these differences, “Validated” reactors should be used “Validation” involves a full-scale test of the UV system involving live microbes

28 BIODOSIMETERY DETERMINATION
Step 1: Develop UV dose response data under controlled laboratory conditions Viable Microbial Population 10 1 2 3 5 4 6 Dose Challenge Organism Dose Response 20 30 40 50 Dose Response Curve UV Lamp Sample Stirrer Collimated Beam

29 BIODOSIMETERY DETERMINATION
Step 2: Inject test organism into full scale reactor to measure inactivation. Use organism from same culture. Organisms in (No) Organisms out (N) UV Reactor

30 BIODOSIMETERY DETERMINATION
Step 3: Determine dose from data in Steps 1 and 2 10 1 2 3 5 4 6 Dose 20 30 40 50 Viable Microbial Population Challenge Organism Dose Response Inactivation of test organism in reactor UV Dose equivalent delivered by the reactor

31 UV SYSTEM DESIGN CURVES
Validation get us these curves Dose response curves for different UVT’s As mentioned earlier, Intensity (UVT) and flow have a significant effect on dose. So many things will have an effect on UV Dose. Hydraulics, quality, lamps. With all these factors taken into consideration and the direct relationship between water clarity and UV reactor sizing mentioned above, how do we know how to correctly size the reactor?.... Validation testing
