UVDGM Specifies Two Approaches for Monitoring
• Calculated Dose approach
– Requires an online UVT monitor
• UV Intensity setpoint approach
– Per DVGW and ONORM rules
– Does not require a UVT monitor

UV Intensity Setpoint Approach – Pros and Cons
Pros Cons
Simple – great for small
systems
Does not report UV dose
Inexpensive validation Specific to one UV dose target,
e.g. 40 mJ/cm2
Does not require an online UVT
monitor
Requires an optimized UV sensor
location

Optimal UV Sensor Location
• Select location such that conservative UVT is an intermediate UVT
– E.g. Monitoring curve defined at 90% UVT
– 70 and 80% UVT give a higher log inactivation

Benefits of Combined Variable that Does Not Use UVT
• No UVT Monitor
• 4-log adenovirus credit using MS2 phage
• Equation can incorporate DL of target pathogen and validation factor
• Simplifies validated range
