TI  - TC-UV Reactors Evaluated as an Alternative Option in Treatment of Ballast Water
AB  - Over the last decade, UV disinfection technology has been widely employed in the disinfection of nonnative species in wastewater and process water treatment. In this study, we assessed the feasibility of theadoption of a Taylor-Couette UV reactor in disinfection of unwanted species commonly found in ballastwater. With this purpose, glycerol solutions were used in a Taylor Couette reactor with two differentradius ratios. The observed flow structures and the critical transition values were simultaneouslycompared with each other and literature. Emergent flow structures in TC reactors provide considerableimprovement in axial and radial mixing of particles and increasing the efficiency of the disinfectionof E. coli. The obtained results show the possibility of utilizing the Taylor-Couette UV reactors as analternative method in inactivation of non-native species in the ballast water.
