Water and Wastewater Disinfection
Course Pack: Advanced Disinfection Technologies: Chloramination, Ozone, and UV
Continued Look at UV Disinfection
Course Description
This module provides UV Water Disinfection training, offering an advanced review of UV system performance, dose maintenance, UV transmission factors, and the effects of fouling on disinfection efficiency. Learners compare UV technology with alternative treatment methods while exploring installation, operation, and maintenance cost considerations. Through this UV Water Disinfection training, operators gain practical knowledge of safety requirements, monitoring practices, and performance optimization strategies that support reliable and effective UV disinfection system operation.
