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 cleaning apparatus (10) for a radiation source assembly (35) in a fluid treatment system is described. The cleaning apparatus comprise cleaning chamber (20) and a second chamber (25, 30) independent of the cleaning chamber which defines a fluid (typically water) buffer layer to obviate or mitigate cleaning fluid from the cleaning chamber leaking into the fluid being treated. The fluid treatment system is particularly useful for us in clean water applications in which ultraviolet radiation is used to treat the water while having the advantages of in situ cleaning of the radiation source when it becomes fouled.

Abstract: A fluid treatment system for placement in a flanged pipe fluid conveyance system. The fluid treatment system comprises a flanged ductile iron pipe fitting. The ductile iron pipe fitting comprises: a first flanged opening and a second flanged opening in substantial alignment to define a flow axis aligned substantially parallel to a direction of fluid flow through the first opening and the second opening; and a third flanged opening comprising a first cover element. The first cover element has connected thereto at least one radiation source 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 and thus, can be readily nullsplicednull into existing piping systems. This facilitates installation of the system and also allows for a significant lowering of manufacturing costs of the system.

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus and method for accomplishing fluid disinfection by passing fluid flow through a uniform array of ultraviolet lamps having cross sections perpendicular to the direction of fluid flow that define channels for the fluid flow. Positioned next to the end of each lamp at the entrance of the fluid flow are triangular shaped delta wings having surfaces inclined at an angle to the direction of fluid flow. The interaction of the fluid flow with each delta wing creates a pair of vortices that rotate in the same direction or in directions opposed to each other. The counter-rotating vortices reinforce each other to minimize dissipation of their mixing strength as they move down the channel. Due to these co-reinforcing properties these counter-rotating vortices more promote efficient mixing of the fluid which is required to achieve more efficient use of the light in the UV disinfection systems, along with heat and/or mass transfer in chemical reactions. Although the present invention is described in particularity as embodied in a UV reactor system, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention has equal applicability to other types of arrayed flow systems in which increased fluid mixing is desired.
