About the Disinfection (UV/Chlorine) Simulator

Compare UV exposure with chlorine contact. Quartz-sleeved lamps and a separate baffled chemical-contact chamber illustrate two different dose measures.

What the simulator shows

• 3D scene parts: UV reactor / quartz sleeves; dosing pump / injection quill; baffled contact chamber; pathogen teaching markers; dose / residual monitor. • Controls: Disinfection method (UV, Chlorine); Water flow (50–300 m³/h); Effective contact volume (0.2–2 m³); UV irradiance (0.1–2 mW/cm²); UV transmission factor (0.2–1 fraction); Chlorine residual (0.1–2 mg/L). • Live readouts: Contact time (s); UV dose (mJ/cm²); Chlorine CT (mg·min/L); Illustrative log reduction (log₁₀). • Guided experiments: Low UV transmission; Higher flow. • Four tabs (visual laboratory, curves and measurements, experiments, learn and assess), a model-verification run, a timestamped event log and a trial report.

The model equations

t = 3600V/Q UV dose = intensity × transmission × t CT = residual × t/60 Teaching LRV = 0.05 UV dose OR 0.5 CT

Model limits and how to explore

Fictional response coefficients for comparison only. No organism-specific claim, dose validation, hydraulic short circuiting, chlorine demand or potable-water determination. The selected method alone supplies the teaching LRV. Try the preset experiments, then compare the live readouts with the equations.

Frequently asked questions

Which statement follows from this model?

Dose and CT use different units..

Can these representative results establish regulatory compliance?

No. Fictional response coefficients for comparison only. No organism-specific claim, dose validation, hydraulic short circuiting, chlorine demand or potable-water determination. The selected method alone supplies the teaching LRV.

What does this simulator not model?
