Abstract: An ultraviolet light irradiation apparatus providing combined mechanical and chemical cleaning of light irradiation tubes for removing radiation blocking precipitates from the surface of the tubes. A scraper ring is fitted to the outside of each of the tubes and includes a chamber for receiving a relatively small quantity of cleaning solution. The scraper rings are reciprocated in a sliding action along the tubes which action synergistically acts with the cleaning solution to remove precipitates from the tube surface including fine particles lodged in concave pits in the tube surface.

Abstract: A mass transfer system for decontaminating a contaminated liquid or gas stream. The system includes a container with a liquid inlet, a liquid outlet, a gas inlet and a gas outlet. The container is adapted to channel a liquid stream from the liquid inlet to the liquid outlet. The vessel is also adapted to channel a gas stream from the gas inlet to the gas outlet. At least one grid is mounted within the container and is positioned within the gas and liquid streams. The grid has a plurality of apertures formed therein which are adapted to disperse the gas flow as it passes through the grid. The dispersion of the gas flow generates a fluidized bed within the container. The grid is preferably parabolic in shape. A light assembly is mounted on the container and has a light emitting unit positioned so as to emit light into the container. The light irradiates at least one of the streams flowing therein. The configuration of the system is designed to cause the mixture of the gas stream and liquid streams to become turbulent, thereby increasing the liquid surface area. The light emitting unit is positioned so as to irradiate the two turbulent fluid flows so as to catalyze a chemical reaction. In one embodiment, an oxidant is added to one of the streams which, when irradiated by the ultraviolet light, produces hydroxyl radicals which chemically react with the contaminants in the stream.

Abstract: A replaceable wiper cartridge is described which is held captive within a shuttling scraper of a type known in the art which is pushed axially through a cylindrical reaction chamber intermittently to remove reaction products from the inside surface of the reaction chamber and from the outside surface of a smaller coaxial tube that extends the length of the reaction chamber. The replaceable wiper cartridge has an annular shape that is obliquely cut to permit a slight radial expansion to accommodate the smaller coaxial tube and to engage it in a tight sliding grip so as to scrape from the smaller tube any deposits.

Abstract: A wiper assembly is provided for cleaning the reactor tubes of an ultraviolet-light reactor. The wiper assembly is positioned inside a reactor chamber of the ultraviolet-light reactor. The wiper assembly includes a wiper that has a circular opening sufficiently large to accommodate a reactor tube. A wiper blade is formed on the wiper circumferential of the opening and being deflected such that when the reactor tube is positioned through the opening, the blade engages the outer surface of the reactor tube. The wiper is formed of a plastic material. The wiper is connected to a platform positioned within the reactor chamber. The platform supports the wiper in the reactor chamber such that the reactor tube extends through the opening in the wiper. According to one aspect of the invention, at least one rod is connected to the platform. The rod extends out of the reactor chamber. The rod can be moved from outside the reactor chamber for mechanically reciprocating the platform along the length of the reactor tube in the chamber, whereby, the wiper blade slides along the outer surface of the reactor tube to wipe off at least some of the fouling that may have accumulated on the outer surface of the reactor tube. According to another aspect of the invention, the platform is supported by a plurality of floats to move with the fluid level in the reactor chamber.

Abstract: An ultraviolet liquid purification system includes a purification chamber having banks of ultraviolet lamps distributed therein for applying germicidal ultraviolet radiation to the liquid flowing through in said chamber. Ultraviolet photocell detectors are located in said chamber to detect the level of ultraviolet radiation transmitted through the quartz jacket housing the ultraviolet lamps and through the liquid being purified. Indicator means produce an alarm signal when the total ultraviolet radiation transmitted through the liquid drops below a preselected level. In addition, a light conducting fiber is provided for each ultraviolet lamp having its input endface located at the ultraviolet lamp and its output endface at a display panel whereby identification of a particular ultraviolet lamp that has failed may be easily detected. Photocell detector means are provided to detect the light output at the output endface of the light conductor fiber and to produce an alarm signal when said light output fails. An in-place cleaning system for cleaning the interior of the purification chamber is also provided.
