A semi-empirical equation for dose delivery monitoring is developed and fitted to the data set. The equation is used to simulate UV system performance at a water treatment plant (WTP) using four years of flow and UVT data and various dose pacing and operational strategies. Efficiencies and costs for those strategies are compared and used to provide direction for implementing dose monitoring and dose pacing with drinking water and wastewater applications of UV disinfection.", pages = "149-170", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/wef/wefproc/2005/00002005/00000001/art00014", doi = "doi:10.2175/193864705783978546" }
