Deterministic and probabilistic approaches to the design of ultraviolet disinfection system for water reclamation are reviewed and discussed. The high inactivation of total coliform (TC), fecal coliform (FC) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) by UV disinfection was demonstrated, and the inactivations of TC, FC and E. coli were 97%, 98% and 99%, respectively. Within the range of 0.3∼0.4m Ws/cm, the effect of UV does on the inactivation ratio was not observed. However, in the highest wattage of UV lamp, 39W, the inactivation ratio of TC, FC and E. coli was 100%, regardless of the UV does so the UV density was more effective on inactivation ratio of TC, FC and E. coli rather than UV does. Under the 0.4 mWs/cm and 16W of UV lamp, the effect of dissolved organic matter and turbidity on the inactivations of TC, FC and E. coli could not be observed in this study within the range of 0∼32mg/L and 0-40 NTU, respectively. The effect of suspended solid is Tc, FC and E.coli observed liner equation y=305.03x-3697, y=186.14x-2509.5, y=152.96x-1976.5(r^=0.51, 0.69, 0.80) respectively. Suspended solid is the most important factor for design of the UV disinfection system.
