    Abstract: There is disclosed an optical radiation sensor system for detecting radiation from a radiation source. The system comprises: a housing having a distal portion for receiving radiation from the radiation source and a proximal portion; a sensor element in communication with the proximal portion, the sensor element configured to detect and respond to incident radiation received from the radiation source; and motive means configured to move the housing with respect to the sensor element between at least a first position and a second position. A radiation pathway is defined between the radiation source and the sensor element when the housing is in at least one of the first position and the second position. Movement of the housing with respect to the sensor element causes a modification of intensity of radiation impinging on the sensor element. In its highly preferred embodiment, the radiation sensor system is of a modular design rendering the sensor system appropriate for use with one or more of various radiation sources, fluid thickness layers and/or in UVT conditions. In this highly preferred form, the sensor system may have built-in diagnostics for parameters such as sensor operation, radiation source output, fluid (e.g., water) UVT, radiation source fouling (e.g., fouling of the protective sleeves surrounding the radiation source) and the like. Other advantages of the present radiation sensor system include: incorporation of an integrated reference sensor, safe and ready reference sensor testing, UVT measurement capability and/or relatively low cost and ease of manufacture.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a fluid treatment system comprising: an inlet; an outlet; and a fluid treatment zone disposed between the inlet and the outlet. The fluid treatment zone has disposed therein: (i) an. elongate first radiation source assembly having a first longitudinal axis, and (ii) an elongate second radiation source assembly having a second longitudinal axis. The first longitudinal axis and the second longitudinal axis are non-parallel to each other and to a direction of fluid flow through the fluid treatment zone. The present fluid treatment system has a number of advantages including: it can treat large volumes of fluid (e.g., wastewater, drinking water or the like); it requires a relatively small 'footprint'; it results in a relatively lower coefficient of drag resulting in an improved hydraulic pressure loss/gradient over the length of the fluid treatment system; and it results in relatively lower (or no) forced oscillation of the radiation sources thereby obviating or mitigating of breakage of the radiation source and/or protective sleeve (if present). Other advantages are discussed in the specification.

    Abstract: A fluid treatment system (100) for placement in a flanged pipe fluid conveyance system. The fluid treatment system (100) comprises a flanged ductile iron pipe fitting (105). The ductile iron pipe fitting (105) comprises: a first flanged opening (110) and a second flanged opening (120) in substantial alignment to define a flow axis aligned substantially parallel to a direction of fluid flow (A) through the first opening (110) and the second opening (120); and a third flanged opening (130) comprising a first cover element (155). The first cover element (155) has connected thereto at least one radiation source (150) assembly comprising at least one elongate radiation source having a longitudinal axis substantially transverse to the flow axis. In its preferred form, the fluid treatment system may be advantageously utilized to treat fluid such as water, e.g., municipal waste water, municipal drinking water and the like. The fluid treatment system is particularly advantageous since it utilizes a standard ductile iron pipe fitting (105) and thus, can be readily 'spliced' into existing piping systems. This facilitates installation of the system and also allows for a significant lowering of manufacturing costs of the system.

    Abstract: A cleaning apparatus for a radiation source assembly (220) in a fluid treatment system is described. The cleaning apparatus comprises: a carriage (245) movable with respect to an exterior of the radiation source assembly (220); at least one cleaning sleeve (248, 249) in sliding engagement with the exterior of the radiation source assembly, the at least one cleaning sleeve being moveable with respect to the carriage; and drive means coupled to the carriage to translate the carriage whereby the at least one cleaning sleeve is translated over the exterior of the radiation source assembly. A radiation source module (200) comprising the cleaning apparatus is also disclosed. The radiation source module is particularly useful for ultraviolet radiation of wastewater while having the advantages of in situ cleaning of the radiation source when it becomes fouled. Radiation source replacement is also facilitated.
