  4. UV Radiation Induces PyrimidineDimersDisrupts DNA Replication

  5. UV Lamps

  6. UV Lamp Types • Low Pressure Hg Vapor (Amalgam) • Higher biocide efficiency • Lower power, lower temperature • Longer lamp life • Lots of lamps needed for large flows • Hence mostly in smaller plants

  7. UV Lamp Types • Medium Pressure Hg Vapor • Broader UV spectrum • Penetrate water better • Higher power use per tube, higher temp • Hotter tubes tend to foul more easily • Fewer tubes needed • Hence more efficient per watt for large flows

  8. Comparative Spectra: Low and Medium Pressure UV Lamps Wavelength, nm
