2. Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation - Wikipedia

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

   UV treatment compares favourably with other water disinfection systems in terms of cost, labour and the need for technically trained personnel for operation. Water chlorination treats larger organisms and offers residual disinfection, but these systems are expensive because they need special operator training and a steady supply of a ...

3. 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 .

4. Catskill-Delaware Water Ultraviolet Disinfection Facility

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

   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. [2]

5. Water purification - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_purification

   Ozone disinfection, or ozonation, is an effective method to inactivate harmful protozoa that form cysts. It also works well against almost all other pathogens. Ozone is made by passing oxygen through ultraviolet light or a "cold" electrical discharge. To use ozone as a disinfectant, it must be created on-site and added to the water by bubble ...

6. Far-UVC - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far-UVC

   The location of 'far-UVC' radiation (200-235 nm) in the electromagnetic spectrum. Far-UVC is a type of ultraviolet germicidal irradiation being studied and commercially developed for its combination of pathogen inactivation properties and reduced negative effects on human health when used within exposure guidelines.

7. Portable water purification - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_water_purification

   UV-treated water must therefore not be exposed to visible light for any significant period of time after UV treatment, before consumption, to avoid ingesting reactivated and dangerous microbes. Recent developments in semiconductor technology allows for the development of UV-C Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). UV-C LED systems address disadvantages ...
