UV Function
Unlike most disinfectants, ultraviolet (UV) radiation does not inactivate microorganisms by chemical interaction. UV radiation inactivates organisms by absorption of the light which causes a photochemical reaction that alters molecular components essential to cell function. As UV rays penetrate the cell wall of the microorganism, the energy reacts with nucleic acids and other vital cell components, resulting in injury or death of the exposed cells. There is ample evidence to conclude that if sufficient dosages of UV energy reach the organisms, UV can disinfect water to whatever degree is required.
Based on the available research literature, it appears that although exceptional for disinfection of small microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses, UV doses required to inactivate larger protozoa such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium are several times higher than for bacteria and virus inactivation As a result, UV is often considered in concert with ozone and/or hydrogen peroxide to enhance the disinfection effectiveness of UV or for ground water where Giardia and Cryptosporidium are not expected to occur.
UV Radiation
UV radiation quickly dissipates in water to be absorbed or reflected off material within the water. As a result, no residual is produced. This process is attractive from a DBP formation standpoint; however, a secondary chemical disinfectant is required to maintain a residual throughout the distribution system, which may be subject to recontamination.
