ULTRAVIOLET SYSTEMS
Ultraviolet disinfection uses UV light, typically at a wavelength of 254 nanometers, to inactivate microorganisms in water. When bacteria, viruses, and protozoa are exposed to this light, their DNA and RNA absorb the energy, causing structural damage that prevents them from reproducing or infecting.
It’s fast, effective, and leaves no trace—making it ideal for both drinking water and wastewater treatment.
How It Works
- Pre-treatment: Water is filtered to remove turbidity and solids that could block UV penetration.
- UV Reactor: Water flows through a chamber lined with UV lamps. These lamps emit germicidal light that disinfects the water as it passes.
- Monitoring & Control: Sensors track UV intensity, flow rate, and lamp performance to ensure consistent disinfection.
- Post-treatment: The water exits the reactor, now free of pathogens—ready for reuse, discharge, or consumption.
Benefits:
- Chemical-free: No residuals, no by-products like trihalomethanes (THMs).
- Environmentally friendly: Reduces chemical handling and disposal.
- Fast & effective: Inactivates a broad spectrum of pathogens in seconds.
- Compact & scalable: Fits into small footprints and large facilities alike.
Applications:
- Municipal Drinking Water: Ensures safe, pathogen-free water without chemical additives.
- Wastewater Reuse: Disinfects treated effluent before irrigation or industrial reuse.
- Industrial Processes: Protects sensitive systems in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical production.
- Aquaculture & Pools: Maintains water hygiene without chlorine.
