Abstract:
An optical radiation sensor comprising a housing having an inlet which allows radiation to enter the housing, and further comprising the following elements serially disposed after the inlet in the path of the radiation: attenuating aperture means, filter means and sensor means. The attenuating aperture means reduce the amount of UV radiation on the sensor means and improve the sensors resistance to degradation in a high intensity UV radiation environment. A fluid disinfection system incorporating the sensor is also described.
Abstract:
A fluid disinfection unit comprising a fluid treatment housing, an electrical supply module and electrical connection means connecting the fluid treatment housing and the electrical supply module; the fluid treatment housing comprising a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet in communication with a reaction chamber, an ultraviolet radiation lamp disposed in the reaction chamber and having a first electrical connection receiving means at a first end thereof and a second end thereof being closed, the second end of the ultraviolet radiation lamp being received and held in place by fixture means; the electrical supply module comprising ballast means and a second electrical connection receiving means; and the electrical connection means comprising lamp receptacle connector means at one end thereof for removable connection to the ultraviolet radiation lamp and electrical connection receiving means for connection to the electrical supply module.
Abstract:
A cleaning apparatus for a radiation source assembly (120) in a fluid treatment system is described. The cleaning system comprises: a cleaning sleeve (145) comprising a cleaning ring (150) for engagement with a portion of the exterior of the radiation source assembly (120); a slidable member (155) magnetically coupled to the cleaning sleeve, the slidable member being disposed on and slidable with respect to a rodless cylinder (140); and motive means to translate the slidable member along the rodless cylinder whereby the cleaning whereby the cleaning sleeve is translated over the exterior of the radiation source assembly. A radiation source module (100) 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 as when it becomes fouled.

Abstract:
A radiation source module for use of fluid treatment system. The radiation source module comprises: a frame (105) having a first support member; at least one radiation source assembly (125) extending from and in engagement with a first support member, the at least one radiation source assembly comprising at least one radiation source disposed within a protective sleeve; and an optical radiation sensor (150) disposed within the protective sleeve. The radiation source module is particularly useful in ultraviolet radiation treatment systems used to disinfect wastewater.
