Description: Resilience, Sustainability, and Risk of Intermittent UV LP And LED Systems
Resilience, Sustainability, and Risk of Intermittent UV LP And LED Systems
Abstract
UV LP and LED systems were compared in their engineering viability for an intermittent flow, 1 MGD average flow UV wastewater system at 65% UVT regarding resilience, sustainability, and risk. Resiliency to system cycling, sustainability via a life-cycle cost comparison, and risk of maintaining system performance guarantees were evaluated for LP, current LED, and future LED systems. Overall, this assessment demonstrated the feasibility and future optimization of these systems in wastewater disinfection. As UV LEDs continue to develop and enter the wastewater market, full-scale UV LED systems could help wastewater treatment systems reduce energy cost, labor requirements, and monetary risk. Advancement of UV LP and LED systems in treating intermittent flows with minimal energy requirements will help the wastewater industry meet climate change and sustainability initiatives.
