IUVA Uniform Protocol for Wastewater UV Validation Applications

摘要

The IUVA Manufacturers Council determined that there was a need for a uniform protocol for validating the UV dose of UV equipment that was being used to disinfect wastewaters that were not being used for reuse. A standard protocol exists for disinfecting wastewater for reuse and this protocol uses a bioassay. The Manufacturers Council examined all the available accepted protocols that used bioassays for validating the UV dose for drinking water and wastewater reuse and developed a uniform protocol. This uniform protocol will allow UV equipment to be compared by a common method and aid designers with the sizing of UV equipment. This protocol was passed by the IUVA Board as an official IUVA Protocol.
