BENEFITS OF UV

• It is economical – significantly lower capital, operating and maintenance costs than other disinfection methods.
• UV does not create toxic substances as do traditional chlorine or newer ozone treatments, nor does it alter the taste or physico-chemical properties of the water.
• It is a safe and reliable method as nothing is added to the water and it is impossible to overdose UV.
• UV is highly effective against viruses unlike most chemicals. No organisms known are immune to UVC light, though doses vary.
  

APPLICATIONS

• Drinking Water - from small domestic point of use systems to large community schemes
• Cooling Water - minimising risk of legionella infections
• Ornamental Ponds - to control algae

Ultraviolet sterilization works by dissociating the DNA structure of living cells thus preventing their multiplication. To destroy molecular chains requires a UV dose dependent on the organism type and at the germicidal wavelength of 253.7 nm. UV light between 200 and 280 nm is called shortwave UV light, or more commonly UVC, and has germicidal properties. The UV disinfection unit comprises an enclosed chamber with an inner sleeve of high purity quartz, which contains one or more shortwave ultraviolet lamp/s. Water passes through the chamber and is subjected to the UVC which shines through the quartz sleeve. As the genetic structure of bacteria or viruses in the water are exposed to the UVC it will be destroyed.

Our extensive UV disinfection range is based on established designs with advanced features, giving proven reliability and efficiency. Potable water, soft drinks, medical, pharmaceutical and process water flows from 1 litre/min. up to 9000 m³/hr can be treated using standard product designs. We also specialise in bespoke systems for any UV water depuration application, designed to accurately meet our customer needs.
