Abstract
A reactor for sterilizing a stream of fluid comprises of a frame structure having a longitudinal dimension and a plurality of UV plate reactors that are removably insertable into the frame structure in a series extending along the longitudinal dimension of the frame structure, each of the plurality of UV plate reactors including a single channel or a plurality of multiple channels of a selected diameter into which the stream of fluid is transported, and at least one ultraviolet light source having a selected radiant flux is coupled to one or more of the channels. The diameter of the plurality of channels and the radiant flux of the ultraviolet light source are selected so as to provide a precise dosage of ultraviolet radiation to the stream of fluid in a confined space of the plurality of channels so as to obtain sterilization of the stream of fluid.
