Abstract
In the operation of UV reactors, an important step is to validate if the UV reactor can deliver the design fluence (UV dose) to achieve the required disinfection credit. Free chlorine is used widely in water and wastewater treatment and often is found in the water passing through a UV reactor. Free chlorine is degraded when passing through a UV reactor. This study investigates the potential application of the photodegradation of free chlorine (PFC) to determine the fluence (UV dose) delivered in UV reactors. Using a bench-scale UV reactor, the PFC was investigated at difference UV doses, which also were measured by a biodosimetry method. The results obtained here show that the PFC method has a high correlation with the delivered UV dose (as estimated from the biodosimetry measurements) and is independent of operating conditions, such as flowrate and UV transmittance. In addition, this study indicates that only chloride and chlorate are generated when free chlorine is photodegraded.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
