In March 1990 a pilot ultra‐violet disinfection plant was installed at the sewage‐treatment works in Bellozanne, Jersey. The pilot plant was set up to test the ability of the process to meet certain defined objectives and, ultimately, to enable the island authorities to satisfy stringent water quality objectives in the receiving waters of St Aubins Bay. The pilot study simulated an open channel installation using medium pressure ultra‐violet lamps parallel to the direction of flow. The pilot plant was supplied by Trojan Technologies Inc. The pilot study met its objectives and confirmed the design parameters for a full‐scale plant installation to follow.
