(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 />
