THE NEED TO HAVE A METHOD FOR THE NEED TO HAVE A METHOD FOR COMPARING DIFFERENT UV SYSTEMSCOMPARING DIFFERENT UV SYSTEMS
A STANDARD BIOASSAYA STANDARD BIOASSAY
WHY PERFORM A BIOASSAYWHY PERFORM A BIOASSAY• With the introduction of electronic ballasts and proprietary lamps all the UV
systems are different.
• Allows the comparison of low and medium pressure UV lamps.
• A standardized bioassay allows the direct comparison of different UV systems and this allows the consultant to tell each manufacturer how many lamps they must use to deliver a specific UV fluence.
• Under the proper conditions a bioassay insures that the UV fluence or UV dose claimed by the manufacturer is actually delivered by the UV equipment.
• A bioassay confirms the UV output of the UV lamps under actual operating conditions as versus measurements in air.
• A bioassay eliminates any disagreements that may take place over how to calculate the UV fluence within a reactor.

What is a Bioassay?What is a Bioassay?
It is a microbiological method of determining the delivery of UV light by a UV system under specific conditions of the UV unit and the water.
How is a Bioassay Performed?How is a Bioassay Performed?Basic Steps in a Bioassay
1 Select a microorganism that is UV resistant, not pathogenic and easy to grow or is already present in the effluent
2 Irradiate the microorganisms with exact UV fluences to create a calibration curve of UV fluence versus log kill
3 Set-up an UV system to simulate worst case conditions of the lamps and water
4 Put the calibrated microorganisms through the UV unit at different flow rates and measure the numbers in the influent and effluent to get the log kill
5 Using the calibration curve create a curve of flow per lamp versus UVfluence
6 Create a report describing the exact test conditions
