Development of Action Spectra Correction Factors for UV Inactivation of Cryptosporidium

Abstract

The goal of this project was to provide a safe interim solution to the newly identified issues around medium pressure UV validation procedures. The solution aims to allow water utilities to continue operating their MP UV systems for regulatory credit and to provide regulators with confidence in continuing to assign such credit. Published in 2018.
