   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catskill-Delaware_Water...

   Trojan Technologies. The Catskill-Delaware Water Ultraviolet Disinfection Facility is a 160,000-square-foot (15,000 m 2) ultraviolet (UV) water disinfection plant built in Westchester County, New York to disinfect water for the New York City water supply system. [ 1] The compound is the largest ultraviolet germicidal irradiation plant in the world.

3. Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet_germicidal...

   A low-pressure mercury-vapor discharge tube floods the inside of a biosafety cabinet with shortwave UV light when not in use, killing microbes on irradiated surfaces. Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) is a disinfection technique employing ultraviolet (UV) light, particularly UV-C (180–280 nm), to kill or inactivate microorganisms.

4. Germicidal lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germicidal_lamp

   A germicidal lamp (also known as disinfection lamp or sterilizer lamp) is an electric light that produces ultraviolet C (UVC) light. This short-wave ultraviolet light disrupts DNA base pairing, causing formation of pyrimidine dimers, and leads to the inactivation of bacteria, viruses, and protozoans. It can also be used to produce ozone for ...

5. New York City water supply system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City_water_supply...

   The compound is the largest ultraviolet germicidal irradiation plant in the world; it contains 56 UV reactors designed to treat up to 2.2 billion US gal (8.3 billion L) per day. [17] [19] While all of the city's water goes through the disinfection process, only 10% of the water is filtered.

6. Water purification - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_purification

   Water purification is the process of removing undesirable chemicals, biological contaminants, suspended solids, and gases from water. The goal is to produce water that is fit for specific purposes. Most water is purified and disinfected for human consumption (drinking water), but water purification may also be carried out for a variety of other ...
