Abstract
In order to have drinking water, some countries
have to use chlorine. It is use cause is effective and it’s cheap. An
alternative to this process is the UV disinfection of drinking
water. Most of the devices in the market use UV bulbs or
mercury lamps. The UV LED, which is cheaper and smaller,
allows creating new smaller devices. The main contribution of
this paper is the use of Genetic Algorithms to help design a
drinking water device with UV LEDs.
