An ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system is an effective way to remove microbial contamination in wastewater. The UV disinfection system is part of the tertiary treatment of wastewater and normally follows a filtration process. In the system, microbes are exposed to UV light that destroys their DNA. Destroying these microbes disinfects the water. UV disinfection systems are used in many different applications ranging from the purification of drinking water to wastewater treatment. We will be focusing specifically on wastewater treatment. UV disinfection is a safe and cost-effective wastewater treatment application.
Water reclamation, wastewater reuse, or resource recovery is the process of converting treated wastewater into water that can be reused for other purposes. Reclaimed water is water that is used more than one time before it passes back into the natural water cycle. Reuse may include irrigation of gardens and agricultural fields, replenishing surface water, and recharging groundwater. Reused water may also be directed toward fulfilling domestic needs, businesses, and industry. This reuse water can even be treated to reach drinking water quality standards.
