Definitions
Fouling Factor:
The reduction in available UV output due to changes
in transmittance of the (lamp) enclosure (e.g. quartz
sleeve) separating the UV lamp from the liquid. The
reduction in available UV output is determined by
comparison to a new enclosure.
(Lamp) Enclosure Fouling:
The formation of material on the enclosure, which
causes a reduction in the UV intensity emitted
through the enclosure.
Slight Adaptations from NWRI 2012 Guideline:

Types of Fouling
Mainly Organic Fouling Mainly Inorganic Scaling
Effluents @ high organic
load (mainly prim & sec)
All types of effluents @ high
inorganic loads
When lamps are off
=> no disinfection
When lamps are on
=> temperature difference
No wiping, wiping off With or without wiping

Monitoring of Fouling
• Direct monitoring of fouling?
• Indirect monitoring of fouling via UV intensity sensors
(sensor value influenced by lamp output, lamp age, fouling and
UVT of effluent)
• Measured UV intensity then used in UV systems‘ control
philiosphy (RED equation), e.g.:
![Page 7: Quartz Sleeve Fouling Prevention While Maintaining Maximum ...€¦ · Microsoft PowerPoint - IUVA Presentation Quartz Sleeve Fouling Prevention by Ludwig Dinkloh.pptx Author: Ldinkloh](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051913/6004d852bedc611d387536a6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Consequence for Monitoring
Irrespective of UV system configuration
at least one (1) UV intensity sensor is needed per “switchable unit”.
Advantage of many “switchable units”: flexibility => lower OPEX
Disadvantage of many “switchable units”: more monitoring
BUT: “no monitoring – no credit” (or safety/reliability)

Application of the Fouling Factor in Designs
As per Dose Validation Equation (equation is system-specific)
where:
RED = The RED calculated with dose monitoring equation, also
referred to as the “calculated dose” in the UVDGM
UVA = UV absorbance at 254 nm
S = Measured UV sensor value
S0 = UV intensity at 100% lamp power
Q = Flow rate
DL = UV sensitivity of challenge/target organism
A,B,O = Model coefficients obtained by fitting the equation

Recommendations / Conclusions
1. Subject to the effluent quality, fouling does occur in varying degree irrespective of UV system
2. Minimization (or occurrence) of scaling is UV system specific
3. A project-specific and system-specific (!) fouling factor is used to allow for a certain loss of UV transmittance of the “enclosure”=> careful selection incl. O&M aspects and kWh/MGD comparison
4. Impact on design: the higher the fouling factor, the more lamps are needed (CAPEX)=> to be weighed against overall in-built redundancy/safety
5. Impact on operation: the more fouling, the higher the power draw (OPEX)=> to be monitored (with S/S0) plus indication via power
6. Consequence for monitoring: min. one (1) UV intensity sensor per switchable unit
