Contaminant Classifications
• Primary concern = HEALTH
– Bacteria, viruses, cysts, chemicals, metals, etc.

Common Technology
Just a few examples:
• Ultraviolet Disinfection(UV)
• Ultrafiltration
• Greensand
• Biofiltration (Slow Sand Filters)
![Page 10: Water Purification - RDN · Water Purification Adam Scheuer adam.scheuer@watertiger.net (250) 412-1110](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052020/6034644b1350ed055e5f24c1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Your total water solution
Ultraviolet Disinfection
UV Disinfection… – Is effective against bacteria,
viruses, parasites, cysts
– Requires no chemicals, does not change palatability of drinking water
– Lowest $$ disinfection technology
– Immediate action – no additional contact time needed
– Compatible with all other forms of water treatment
– Can alleviate the need for a boil-water advisory

Your total water solution
Ultraviolet Disinfection How does it work?
• Water passes through a stainless steel chamber or quartz “sleeve”
• UV light penetrates the DNA of microbes in the water and alters it in such a way that it cannot reproduce – effectively killing it
• The water must be clear enough (i.e. high enough UVT) to allow the UV light to penetrate
• A five micron prefilter is required to remove any particles large enough to “shade” the microbes from the UV light (minimum pretreatment)
• NSF 55 Class A certified units for public water systems

Ultraviolet Disinfection
Monitoring + Protection
– Real-time UV dose displayed (calculated on peak flow rate)
– Remote or wireless monitoring
– Maintains a history log of operating conditions
– Download operational info to any computer or store on digital storage card (same as any digital camera)
– Automatic shutoff via solenoids in the event of an alarm condition

Ultrafiltration (UF)
• Fine membrane physical filtration to 0.01 microns
• Periodic backflush (not constant waste stream) eliminates waste water concerns of RO
• Integral monitoring components to measure TMP and fouling, initiates cleaning
• Can be used to reduce TOC/DOC for THM formation control (possibly with coagulation first)
• >4 log removal of bacteria, virus, parasite
