Wastewater Disinfection
Open-channel UV disinfection systems for municipal wastewater effluent treatment and water reuse applications.
What is Wastewater UV Disinfection?
UV disinfection provides effective pathogen inactivation in wastewater effluent without chemical addition, disinfection byproducts, or dechlorination requirements. UV is the preferred method for wastewater effluent treatment and water reuse applications because it eliminates the chemical handling, storage, and residual management requirements of chlorine systems while meeting NPDES permit limits for fecal coliform and other indicator organisms.
