Abstract

UV disinfection is widely used in water treatment facilities and wastewater treatment plant because of its effectiveness to removal of pathogen and Giardia which is resistant to traditional chemical disinfection. As a design and performance tool of UV disinfection system, 3 dimensional UV intensity models were composed and simulated to compare each other and to find affecting factors in this study. Reflection, refraction and absorption are important parameters in UV intensity model and MPSS and MSSS model can reflect these parameters while LSI model can not. Absorption is the most important parameters among the reflection, refraction, absorption and shadowing so, this should not be neglect. Based on this simulation, shadowing effect is negligible when the number of installed lamp is a few but, this effect can not be neglectable when the number of installed lamp is quite a few. The errors according to shadowing effect is increased as the number of lamp installed increased.
