What is UV Disinfection?

Ultraviolet (UV-C) light at 254 nm inactivates bacteria, viruses and protozoa by damaging DNA/RNA—without adding taste, odor or chemicals. UV is used in potable water, process water, food & beverage, aquaculture and wastewater reuse.

Main Advantages

• Chemical-free: no chlorine handling, no THM by-products.
• Instant effect: on/off control, no contact time tank required.
• Low OPEX: efficient lamps; typical life 9,000–12,000 h.
• Hygienic design: 304/316L stainless steel reactors; polished interior.
• Smart control: UV sensor (mW/cm²), hour meter, alarms, optional SCADA.

Technical Options

• Lamps: Low-pressure high output (LPHO) for drinking/process; medium-pressure for high flows and wastewater.
• Dose (validated design): 40–400 mJ/cm² depending on target log-reduction and UVT.
• Materials: Reactor 304/316L; quartz sleeves with automatic or manual wipers.
• Controls: PLC/HMI, 4–20 mA sensor output, dry contacts; auto-cleaning & over-temperature protection.
• Flow range: 1–500 m³/h per unit; manifold for higher.
• Inlet water: UVT ≥ 70% (potable/process). Prefiltration recommended (5–20 µm) to minimize turbidity.
• Standards/References: design per international practices (e.g., USEPA/DVGW concepts; potable approvals project-based).

Applications

Potable water stations, food & beverage rinse water, pharmaceutical/process water pretreatment, aquaculture/RO inlet, cooling towers, wastewater reuse (tertiary) and rainwater systems.

Package Contents

SS reactor, UV lamps, quartz sleeves, electronic ballast, control panel, UV sensor, wiper (auto/manual), mounting kit; options: flow switch, temperature switch, CIP ports, validation port.

How to Specify

Flow (m³/h) + UVT (%) + target dose (mJ/cm²) + piping size & material + controls (sensor/wiper) + power supply + installation layout. Example: 30 m³/h, UVT 85%, 40 mJ/cm², DN80, 316L, auto wiper + UV sensor, 230 V.
