High population density and growing water scarcity have resulted in several regions with declining drinking water sources (surface and groundwater), especially if those regions are more exposed to drought conditions.
To ensure sustainable drinking water supplies, many of these regions are turning to domestic wastewater as a source of drinking water. To ensure this wastewater is treated to an advanced level of purity for reintroduction into the drinking water supply, specialized wastewater treatment plants, called advanced wastewater treatment facilities (AWTF), are constructed. AWTFs are often required to include the UV advanced oxidation process (UV AOP) as a part of the advanced wastewater treatment process due to its ability to treat chemical micropollutants found in wastewater sources and provide additional treatment for pathogens.
