Lecture to cover ultraviolet wastewater treatment
Advertiser Staff
Ultraviolet disinfection of primary treated sewage at the state's largest wastewater treatment plant will be the topic of this week's lecture at the Water Resources Research Center.Researcher Victor Moreland will speak at 3 p.m. Thursday at the Marine Sciences Bldg. 114, the University of Hawai'i Manoa campus.
He will discuss ultraviolet disinfection at the city's Sand Island Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Ultraviolet light is used for disinfecting many water types: drinking water, recycled water, secondary effluent, including low quality waters like primary effluent and combined sewer overflows. This type of system has been installed at the Sand Island plant.
The presentation will explain the history of the project in terms of the three phases of testing, the reactor design and disinfection system performance. This presentation illustrates what is needed in the partnership between researcher, designer, equipment manufacturer, contractor, and customer.
