ULTRAVIOLET FLUID TREATMENT SYSTEM

摘要

A fluid treatment system (100) for placement in a flanged pipe fluid conveyance system. The fluid treatment system (100) comprises a flanged ductile iron pipe fitting (105). The ductile iron pipe fitting (105) comprises: a first flanged opening (110) and a second flanged opening (120) in substantial alignment to define a flow axis aligned substantially parallel t o a direction of fluid flow (A) through the first opening (110) and the second opening (120); and a third flanged opening (130) comprising a first cover element (155). The first cover element (155) has connected thereto at least one radiation source (150) assembly comprising at least one elongate radiati on 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, municipa l drinking water and the like. The fluid treatment system is particularly advantageous since it utilizes a standard ductile iron pipe fitting (105) an d thus, can be readily "spliced" into existing piping systems. This facilitate s installation of the system and also allows for a significant lowering of manufacturing costs of the system.
