Abstract: An ultraviolet radiation exposure fluid decontamination apparatus is provided which includes a container made of high tensile strength material through which the fluid to be treated flows, a high intensity, directed beam light source, and an ultraviolet transparent window through which the directed beam propagates. The container interior has a reflective surface which distributes the light throughout the container. A non-stick material lines the container interior which prevents fouling of the container. The window is also protected by a similar non-stick material. Organic contaminates are oxidized to carbon dioxide, water and other nonharmful products during the fluid treatment carried out by this apparatus.

Abstract: An ultraviolet radiation/oxidation fluid decontamination apparatus is provided which includes a container made of high tensile strength material through which the fluid to be treated flows, a high intensity, directed beam light source, a small ultraviolet transparent window through which the directed beam propagates, and an oxidant injection port. The container interior is lined with a reflective surface which distributes the light throughout the container and a non-sticking surface which prevents fouling of the container. Organic contaminates are oxidized to carbon dioxide, water and other nonharmful products during the fluid treatment carried out by this apparatus.
