The present invention provides a radiation source module for use in a fluid treatment
system. In one embodiment, the module comprises: a substantially elongate first
support member having a longitudinal first axis; and a first pair of radiation
source assemblies extending from the first support member, each radiation source
assembly comprising a radiation source; wherein the first pair of radiation source
assemblies is oriented such that a second axis extending through a center point
of each radiation source assembly is disposed at an angle with respect to the first
axis. In another embodiment, the module comprises a substantially elongate first
support member having a longitudinal first axis; and a first column of radiation
source assemblies extending from the first support member, and a second column
of radiation source assemblies extending from the first support member, each radiation
source assembly comprising a radiation source; the first column of radiation source
assemblies and the second column of radiation source assemblies disposed adjacent
one another.
