Metodologia
Dimensiona reattori in servizio e standby da punti esterni inseriti di UVT/capacità, usando di norma il punto esatto. L’interpolazione è consentita solo se la fonte esterna documentata la autorizza per il reattore e l’intervallo operativo applicabili; non estrapola né attribuisce automaticamente credito normativo di dose.
At an exact design UVT match, capacity is taken from that exact entered reactor performance/reference point.
For an intermediate UVT, bounded linear interpolation is available only when the user confirms that the external validation/reference source permits this capacity relationship for the applicable reactor/model, target/reference dose, UVT basis, lamp/configuration basis, and operating envelope, and documents that source. This interpolation is user-authorized from entered external reference data; ATLAS does not independently validate it. No extrapolation is used.
EPA UV reactor validation is based on reactor-specific validated operating conditions. Dose/RED relationships with flow, UVT, lamp status/intensity, and other operating parameters depend on the reactor and validation method. ATLAS does not derive a generic UV dose-monitoring equation. Boundedness alone does not establish that linear interpolation is valid.
UVT values must use the same wavelength and optical path length as the entered external reference data; no absorbance or path-length conversion is applied.
Duty reactor count = ceiling(plant design flow / capacity per reactor from entered external reference data). Installed count = duty reactors + entered standby reactors.
Operating duty power = duty reactors x entered per-reactor electrical power. Standby reactors are not assumed energized.
The user-selected target dose must match the user-entered reference-dose value; neither dose value is calculated by this tool.
