The results we obtained showed that a 10 minute exposure to UV was not able to cause sufficient cell death and therefore is not suitable for use as a biosecurity mechanism in our filtration system. In order to achieve the industry required escape frequency, which is of the order 10-8, the water would have to be irradiated for a much more significant period of time which is not practical for our intended use. Therefore we need to explore possible alternatives, such copper alginate beads as detailed on the Applied Design page.
