(2) UV254 transmittance was an important factor affecting <strong>the</strong> disinfection efficiency of<br />
UV units. A high UV254 transmittance generally resulted in a high disinfection<br />
efficiency, but <strong>the</strong> increment of efficiency was not obvious for a low power UV unit<br />
working at a high flow rate (e.g., 25 W UV unit at 2.52 l/s flow rate).<br />
(3) To obtain high disinfection efficiency, maintaining a sufficient flow rate was<br />
necessary for a recirculating UV disinfection system, especially for a high power UV<br />
unit working with low UV transmittance wastewater.<br />
