During the validation of the WEDECO Quadron™ system in accordance with the US Environmental Protection Agency’s UV Disinfection Guidance Manual (UVDGM), not only different quartz sleeves materials have been tested but also other influencing factors, such as the spectral absorption of the water (between 200 and 320 nm). This is more advanced than other medium pressure system validations where performance related to the wavelength between 200 and 240 nm were not appropriately addressed.
As a result of the extensive validation testing conducted for the Quadron unit, it is now possible to safely design and operate a medium pressure drinking water system with appropriate consideration of all influencing parameters, including those present at the 200 to 240 nm wavelengths.
