Available in four size models (M50, M90, M150, M250), the system’s germicidal lamps produce short-wave radiation that is lethal to bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms. Water quality recommendations for wastewater application are 30 mg/l of biological oxygen demand (BOD) and 30 mg/l total suspended solids (TSS) or less, says Greg Boehme, applications engineer. “We can treat worse water quality, but these are standards for the sizing that we have put in place for the system with a minimum 65 percent UV
