Abstract
A fluid treatment system includes one or more radiation sources arranged in an irradiation zone with a treatment zone through which fluid to be treated passes and is irradiated. The radiation zone has a closed cross section to maintain the fluid within a predetermined maximum distance form he radiation source. Preferably, the irradiation zone comprises a reduced cross-sectional area perpendicular to the direction of fluid flow and thus the fluid flow velocity is increased through the irradiation zone.
