Commercial UV Water Treatment
Commercial Ultraviolet Disinfection
The quality of drinking water is generally kept under control by local authorities but this does not prevent the risk of leakages and contaminants along the supply pipelines, which are often old and in need of upgrading. If such pollution occurs, bacteria can enter our water supply and it becomes unsafe for consumption.
There is no other disinfection process that is as simple, effective, and safe as ultraviolet light. Ultraviolet disinfection systems are fast becoming the choice treatment in drinking water, process & wastewater applications all over the world in the industrial and commercial applications as UV systems offer several advantages over other conventional methods of disinfection.
UV disinfection is essential for eliminating any harmful parasites and bacteria present in water, especially if chemical treatment is not possible or desired.
As water flows past the UV lamp(s) in a UV disinfection system, microorganisms are exposed to Ultraviolet light energy. Ultraviolet light alters the DNA material in cells so that bacteria, viruses, algae, and other microorganisms can no longer reproduce.
Our commercial UV systems are specifically designed to treat flows from low flows up to hundreds of gallons per minute and are designed for disinfection, ozone destruction, and TOC reduction. Each unit is specifically engineered to provide optimized flow and retention time to effectively reduce bacteria by up to 99.9%.
Advantages of Commercial UV Systems
- Safe, reliable and easy to apply
- No moving parts to wear out or break
- No regrowth of viruses, bacteria, and parasites
- Lower capital investment when compared to chlorine or ozone systems
- Low power consumption
- No hazardous chemicals to store and/or handle
- Immediate contact time (no need for contact or storage tanks)
- No change in water chemistry
- No effect on taste or odour of water
