Abstract
Some aspects of the invention may be related to an ultraviolet (UV) water disinfection system and a method of assembling such system. The system may be designed to treat, inactivate, disintegrate and/or remove at least two predetermined different types of contaminations. The system may include a chamber to carry the water containing the predetermined types of contaminations. The system may further include one or more first-type UV lamps having a first UV emission spectrum and one or more second-type UV lamps having a second UV emission spectrum different than the first spectrum. A location of the one or more first-type UV lamps and the one or more second-type UV lamps may be determined such that a combined UV impact function matches with a combined sensitivity response function of the two or more predetermined different types of contaminations in the water each having a different response function.
