  • Fluid treatment system and radiation source module for use therein
    Patent number: 7323694
    Abstract: A radiation source module comprising a support member, a radiation source assembly connected to the support member, the radiation source assembly comprising at least one elongate radiation source having a source longitudinal axis and a module-to-surface seal disposed on a first elongate surface of the module, the first elongate surface comprising a first longitudinal axis transverse to the source longitudinal axis, the seal operable to provide a substantially fluid tight seal between the first surface and a second surface which is adjacent to the first surface. A fluid treatment system employ the radiation source module is also described.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 17, 2005
    Date of Patent: January 29, 2008
    Assignee: Trojan Technologies Inc.

  • Apparatus for improving UV dosage applied to fluids in open channel UV disinfection systems
    Patent number: 5952663
    Abstract: The invention provides an immersible and portable module for irradiating fluids including a multiplicity of ultraviolet radiation producing lamp and a first header for receiving and maintaining in position the multiplicity of ultraviolet radiation-producing lamps, the first header having upstream and downstream ends and opposed sides. There is also a second header for receiving and maintaining in position the multiplicity of ultraviolet radiation-producing lamps, the second header having upstream and downstream ends and opposed sides. Fluid flow diverters are positioned between the first and second headers and located adjacent the opposed sides and are adapted to divert fluids flowing adjacent the opposed sides toward at least some of the ultraviolet radiation-producing lamps.
