Systems And Methods For Uv Treatment Of A Viscous Fluid

Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to systems and methods for treating a viscous fluid. The viscous liquid may be a liquid sugar. The viscous fluid may have a viscosity of at least 50 cP. The system may include one or more mixers configured to receive the viscous fluid and to generate turbulent flow of the viscous fluid; and one or more UV chambers configured to receive the viscous fluid from the mixer and to expose the viscous fluid to a dose of UV light, the dose being at least 250 mJ/cm2. The system may deliver a total dose of UV light of about 500 mJ/cm2 such that bacteria and other contaminants are reduced or eliminated.
