byproducts (DBPs) and, more recently, disinfection performance with respect to pathogen inactivation, are driving the conversion from ch lorine disinfect ion to other disinfect ion met hods such as UV, which does not produce any significant DBPs. Closed vessel UV syst ems are easy to install wit hin existing pipework, so there is minimal d isruption to plant operation. Day-to-day operation is simp le and maintenance is minor. The only regular requirement is changing the UV lamps and wiper rings once a year, a straightforward operation t hat can be carried out by onsite personnel.
