    Abstract: There is disclosed a process for measuring transmittance of a fluid in a radiation field comprising polychromatic radiation - i.e., radiation at a first wavelength and radiation at a second wavelength different from the first wavelength. The process comprises the steps of: (i) positioning a polychromatic radiation source and a polychromatic radiation sensor element in a spaced relationship to define a first thickness of fluid in the radiation field; (ii) detecting a first . radiation intensity corresponding to radiation at the first wavelength received by the sensor element at the first thickness; (iii) detecting a second radiation intensity corresponding to radiation at the second wavelength received by the sensor element at the first thickness; (iv) altering the first thickness to define a second thickness; (v) detecting a third radiation intensity corresponding to radiation at the first wavelength received by the sensor element at the second thickness; (vi) detecting a fourth radiation intensity corresponding to radiation at the second wavelength received by the sensor element at the second thickness; and (vii) calculating radiation transmittance of the fluid in the radiation field from the first radiation intensity, the second radiation intensity, the third radiation intensity and the fourth radiation intensity. Thus, the present process relates to a novel manner to measure UV transmittance of a fluid in an on-line or random measurement manner.

    Abstract: The is described a process for determining a validated Reduction Equivalent Dose for reducing the concentration of a target contaminant contained in a fluid in a radiation fluid treatment system. In one embodiment, the process comprises the steps of: (a) determining a short wavelength Reduction Equivalent Dose for the target contaminant or a challenge contaminant in a first region of the electromagnetic spectrum having a wavelength of less than or equal to about 240 nm; (b) determining a long wavelength Reduction Equivalent Dose for the target contaminant or a challenge contaminant in a second region of the electromagnetic spectrum having a wavelength of greater than about 240 nm; and (c) summing the short wavelength Reduction Equivalent Dose and the long wavelength Reduction Equivalent Dose to produce the validated Reduction Equivalent Dose for the target contaminant. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention provides a useful approach for determining the relevant Reduction Equivalent Dose (RED) for Cryptosporidium disinfection and accomplishes this by using the discovered relation between the short wavelength sensor signal and the short wavelength RED, and subtracting the short wavelength RED from the RED determined using a challenge microbe with synthetic lamp sleeves, to obtain the long wavelength RED applicable to Cryptosporidium disinfection. In a bioassay, one would only need the short wavelength sensor reading and the challenge microbe RED using synthetic lamp sleeves to determine the applicable RED, once the relationship between the short wavelength sensor reading and the short wavelength RED was established.
