This research report addresses issues not covered by the EPA's upcoming whether UV light or other technologies should be installed to meet regulatory requirements; a step-by-step approach for evaluating implementation issues or estimating UV disinfection capital and operations costs; and an in-depth evaluation of potential failure modes and how to address critical process control points.
