Let’s consider a portable UV disinfection system to be used with 5-gallon (18.9 L) coolers with a modified lid. The setup will allow water to flow into the top and out a spigot at the bottom. The resulting contactor is effectively a CSTR.

  1. If the disinfection rate constant for UV278 is 6.3 s-1 for E. coli, what is the maximum flow rate that the system can handle to achieve 99 percent inactivation? (answer in L/min)
  1. If you decide to operate the device in batches instead of in a flow-through mode, how long should you wait to achieve 4-log inactivation of E. coli? (answer in min)

A portable concrete test instrument used in construction for evaluating and profiling concrete surfaces (MACRS-GDS 5-year property class) is under consideration by a construction firm for $25,500. The instrument will be used for 6 years and be worth $2,500 at that time. The annual cost of use and maintenance will be $13,000. Alternatively, a more automated instrument (same property class) available from the manufacturer costs $26,000, with use and maintenance costs of only $7,500 and salvage value after 6 years...
