  • Publication number: 20210300793
    Abstract: A water disinfection system with a flow-through treatment chamber, a plurality of elongated ultraviolet lamps positioned parallel to each other in at least one array within the treatment chamber, and a stand-alone frame which holds in place the lamps of the array and which is constructed so that all lamps of the array can be lifted out of the chamber simultaneously. The array is disposed so that the water must pass through the array. The frame has a cuboid outer shape, an upstream end including front frame members, a downstream end including rear frame members, and a frame center section including side frame members. The array is contained inside the cuboid shape and the frame is positioned in the chamber in an unguided manner and has attachment elements for attaching the frame to a lifting mechanism.
