Actually, the 9.2 factor will give you 99.99 % throughput through the
sterilizer. To get 99.9% throughput, the factor is 6.9.
See http://www.wideopenwest.com/~brucege...ver/index.html
for details.

One strategy is to set the flow rate through the sterilizer so that one
pass
kills target organisms you wish to kill. If you set the flow rate slow
enough that everything you want to kill is killed, then run your
sterilizer long enough to "turnover" the tank water once or twice a day,
and then shut the sterilizer off.

snip good stuff

I hope you enjoy the article on turnover time; this is the first time I
have
published the web address. Remember that you can skip to the conclusion
and get the formula to use. I am in process of collecting data for a
suite
of articles on the topic UV sterilizers. Be watching this news group or
my
web site; I am waiting on data from a manufacturer. -Bruce Geist
