  2. Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation - Wikipedia

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

    In 1955, UV water treatment systems were applied in Austria and Switzerland; by 1985 about 1,500 plants were employed in Europe. In 1998 it was discovered that protozoa such as cryptosporidium and giardia were more vulnerable to UV light than previously thought; this opened the way to wide-scale use of UV water treatment in North America. By ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. Water purification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_purification

    Simple techniques for treating water at home, such as chlorination, filters, and solar disinfection, and for storing it in safe containers could save a huge number of lives each year. [52] Reducing deaths from waterborne diseases is a major public health goal in developing countries. The global water purification market is worth 22 billion ...

  5. Solar water disinfection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_water_disinfection

    Solar water disinfection, in short SODIS, is a type of portable water purification that uses solar energy to make biologically-contaminated (e.g. bacteria, viruses, protozoa and worms) water safe to drink. Water contaminated with non-biological agents such as toxic chemicals or heavy metals require additional steps to make the water safe to drink.

  6. Advanced oxidation process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_oxidation_process

    Since AOPs were first defined in 1987, the field has witnessed a rapid development both in theory and in application. So far, TiO 2 /UV systems, H 2 O 2 /UV systems, and Fenton, photo-Fenton and Electro-Fenton systems have received extensive scrutiny. However, there are still many research needs on these existing AOPs.

  7. Catskill-Delaware Water Ultraviolet Disinfection Facility

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

    The UV facility treats water delivered by two of the city's aqueduct systems, the Catskill Aqueduct and the Delaware Aqueduct, via the Kensico Reservoir. [3] (The city's third supply system, the New Croton Aqueduct, has a separate treatment plant. [4]) The plant has 56 energy-efficient UV reactors, and cost the city $1.6 billion.
