PLANT AND METHOD FOR REMOVING XENOBIOTICS FROM WATER USING UV-V RADIATION

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for removing xenobiotics present in water during the treatment thereof in water treatment plants or in drinkable water production plants comprising applying a UV-V radiation having a wavelength between 100 and 200 nanometers. A UV-C radiation having a wavelength between 200 and 280 nanometers can also be applied in combination with the UV-V radiation. The invention also relates to a device for implementing said method, wherein said device comprises: a least one reactor; inside the reactor(s), at least one lamp module capable of emitting a radiation having a wavelength between 100 and 200 nanometers and operating in series and/or in parallel and optionally coupled to at least one lamp module capable of emitting a radiation having a wavelength between 200 and 280 nanometers; at least one system for adjusting the water level in the reactor(s); at least one device for powering, controlling and adjusting the lamps; and at least one device for supplying pressurized air or dioxygen.
