1. A method for reducing pathogens in a fluid, said method comprising the steps of:

  • providing the fluid held in an at least partially transparent container, wherein the fluid comprises particles;

    determining the volume of the fluid;

    mixing the fluid held in the at least partially transparent container;

    calculating a net radiant energy for reducing said pathogens in the fluid using the volume determined for the fluid; and

    providing electromagnetic radiation having said net radiant energy to the fluid, thereby generating a photoreactive layer in the fluid wherein said electromagnetic radiation interacts with said particles; and

    wherein mixing the fluid in said container transports the particles through the photoreactive layer, thereby reducing pathogens in the fluid.
