The increasing demand for ultraviolet (UV) treatment of drinking water sources indicates that there will be a requirement for a single European standard for UV treatment.
A gathering of more than 70 engineers and technicians from Europe, North America, and Asia heard Marc-Olivier Buffle of Trojan Technologies speak about combining UV radiation and strong oxidation to destroy complex pharmaceutical pollutants, such as antibiotics and steroids that are now found in water sources.
Attendees to the conference heard statements about recent developments of UV lamps offering longer operating hours and higher power. This means that designers of disinfection plants can specify fewer lamps, resulting in cost savings.
Look out for more interesting updates in the next issue of Water IDeaS.
