UV Disinfection Effluent Level Control

Ultraviolet (UV) disinfection is a chemical-free process often employed by wastewater treatment operations as the last stage of treatment to meet tight bacterial limitations on plant discharges. The reliability and efficiency of a UV system is critical to mitigating the threat of permit violations and fines for the discharge of improperly disinfected wastewater effluent. For UV systems with horizontal or slanted lamp orientation, the means to control water levels in the channels is a known trouble spot often stemming from the method of actuation used to regulate said levels.
