Abstract
A reactor for the treatment of a fluid with a substantially uniform dosage of light from a light-type light source, which comprises: PA1 a reactor housing forming an internal space comprising a fluid entry region, a fluid exit region, PA1 a central photochemical treatment region comprising a housing, a means for circumferentially distributing fluid flow radially towards and perpendicular to a line-type light source, and a fluid exit region, wherein the central photochemical treatment of the housing is rotationally symmetrical about a central axis and PA1 one or more line-type light sources mounted in the treatment region substantially at the central axis of the housing, the axis of the lamps being oriented parallel to the rotational axis of the treatment region housing. Methods are also provided using the circumferential distribution of fluid flow radially toward and perpendicular to the line-type light source.
