TrojanUVSwift™ UV Disinfection System

Overview

The TrojanUVSwift™ is a high-efficiency, medium-pressure ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system engineered for municipal drinking water treatment applications. It operates on the principle of germicidal UV-C irradiation (200–280 nm), inactivating bacteria, viruses, and protozoan pathogens—including Cryptosporidium and Giardia—without chemical addition or disinfection byproduct (DBP) formation. Designed to meet stringent regulatory requirements for primary and secondary disinfection under U.S. EPA LT2ESWTR, Canadian Guidelines for Drinking Water Quality, and WHO Water Safety Plans, the system delivers validated log-inactivation performance across variable flow conditions. Its modular architecture supports both greenfield installations and retrofit integration into existing treatment trains, with hydraulic profiles optimized to minimize headloss while ensuring uniform UV dose delivery.

Key Features

• Compact, Single-End Access Design: All lamp modules, sensors, and mechanical components are serviced from one side of the reactor chamber—eliminating the need for full system isolation or multi-point entry during routine maintenance.
• ActiClean™ Dual-Action Sleeve Cleaning System: Combines automated mechanical wiping with low-energy ultrasonic vibration to prevent quartz sleeve fouling in hard-water or high-turbidity environments; reduces manual cleaning frequency by up to 70% compared to conventional wiper systems.
• Variable-Output Electronic Ballasts: Dynamically modulate UV lamp intensity in real time based on flow rate and UV transmittance (UVT) feedback—ensuring consistent delivered dose while minimizing energy consumption during low-flow periods.
• Optimized Reactor Hydraulics: Computational fluid dynamics (CFD)-validated flow distribution ensures plug-flow characteristics and minimizes short-circuiting, supporting reliable validation across 10–100% flow range.
• Integrated Sensor Suite: Includes real-time UV intensity sensors (calibrated traceable to NIST standards), temperature-compensated UVT monitors, and flow meters—all feeding data to the central control platform for continuous dose calculation per USEPA UV Guidance Manual protocols.

Sample Compatibility & Compliance

The TrojanUVSwift™ is validated for use with potable water sources exhibiting UVT values ≥75% at 254 nm and turbidity ≤1 NTU (per ANSI/AWWA B300-22). It complies with NSF/ANSI 55 Class A certification for microbiological reduction and meets the design and operational requirements of ISO 14644-1 (cleanroom air classification applied to UV chamber integrity), EN 14897:2017 (UV reactor performance testing), and FDA 21 CFR Part 11–compliant data logging when paired with optional TrojanNet™ SCADA interface. System validation reports include third-party bioassay testing per USEPA UV Disinfection Guidance Manual protocols using Bacillus subtilis spores and MS2 coliphage surrogates.

Software & Data Management

TrojanNet™ Control Software provides web-enabled monitoring, dose tracking, alarm management, and audit-ready reporting. The platform supports automated generation of daily operational summaries, UV dose compliance logs, and maintenance history aligned with GLP/GMP documentation standards. All critical parameters—including lamp output, sleeve transmission, flow-weighted average dose, and sensor calibration status—are timestamped and stored with cryptographic integrity. Optional integration with plant-wide DCS or SCADA systems enables remote diagnostics and predictive maintenance alerts via OPC UA or Modbus TCP protocols.

Applications

• Municipal drinking water treatment plants requiring primary or secondary disinfection without chlorine or ozone residuals
• Retrofit projects where space constraints limit traditional UV system footprint

<liSurface water and groundwater blending facilities subject to seasonal organic loading or taste-and-odor compound fluctuations (e.g., geosmin, MIB)

• Advanced oxidation process (AOP) pre-treatment support for UV/H₂O₂ configurations targeting micropollutants
• Emergency response deployments requiring rapid commissioning and validated pathogen inactivation

FAQ

What UV dose is achievable with the TrojanUVSwift™ under typical municipal conditions?
The system is validated to deliver ≥40 mJ/cm² at peak flow for Class A applications, scalable to ≥120 mJ/cm² for advanced oxidation or recalcitrant pathogen inactivation—subject to site-specific UVT and hydraulics.
Does the system support regulatory validation for Cryptosporidium inactivation?
Yes—third-party validation per USEPA LT2ESWTR protocols confirms ≥3-log inactivation of Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts at design flow and minimum UVT.
Can TrojanUVSwift™ be integrated into existing SCADA infrastructure?
Yes—via standard industrial communication protocols including Modbus TCP, OPC UA, and BACnet/IP, with optional TrojanNet™ gateway for secure cloud telemetry.
Is ActiClean™ compatible with high-iron or high-manganese source waters?
The dual-action cleaning mechanism maintains >92% sleeve transmission after 12 weeks of continuous operation in waters with Fe ≤ 0.3 mg/L and Mn ≤ 0.1 mg/L, as verified in independent pilot studies.
What documentation is provided for regulatory submittal?
Each unit ships with a complete Validation Package including CFD modeling reports, bioassay test certificates, sensor calibration records, and a Site-Specific Dose Calculation Tool compliant with USEPA and AWWA guidance frameworks.
