Abstract

Developed a UV reactor test method that would identify fluorescently labeled polymer microspheres that could be used to directly measure UV dose distribution in reactors used for drinking water disinfection. Compared the direct and quantitative UV dose between different reactors and operating conditions. Ended in 2006. AwwaRF did not publish a final report.
