Abstract
According to embodiments of the invention, a selective ultraviolet disinfection method is provided. The method includes selecting operating parameters for an ultraviolet disinfection process of flowing liquid carrying first and second types of entities to affect the first type of entities while the second type of entities remains intact, illuminating the liquid with ultraviolet light according to the operating parameters and continuously adjusting the operating parameters based on real-time measurements of ultraviolet transmission and flow rate of the liquid.
Claims8
An ultraviolet disinfection method comprising:
- determining for a selective ultraviolet disinfection process a wavelength range such that a first type of entities is more sensitive, in that wavelength range, to light exposure than a second type of entities;
- determining light intensity for the selective ultraviolet disinfection process;
- and
- illuminating flowing liquid carrying the first and second types of entities with ultraviolet light in the determined wavelength range at the determined light intensity so as to affect the first type of entities while the second type of entities remain intact during illumination.
