Abstract

Abstract : Using ultraviolet light in the treatment of water and wastewater is an ever-growing practice. The problem is that UV light of sufficient intensity and the correct wavelength has historically been provided by mercury vapour lamps, which are on the decline. This article explores the new product stepping in to replace the mercury lamps and how the disinfection process works.
