Ultraviolet (UV) Systems
Ultraviolet (UV) Systems
UV light continues to be a reliable means of disinfection, it involves exposing contaminated water to radiation from UV light. The treatment works because UV light penetrates an organism's cell walls and disrupts the cell's genetic material, making reproduction impossible.
The effectiveness of a UV disinfection system depends on the characteristics of the water, the intensity of UV radiation and the amount of time the microorganisms are exposed to the radiation.
UV offers a very economical and environmentally friendly water disinfection solutions for the following applications:
- Drinking Water
- Process Water (ultra pure water)
- Beverage & Bottled Water
- Air Humidifying Systems
Ultraviolet TOC Reduction
In ultra pure water, UV systems are used for the effective reduction
of organics. Organics are commonly referred to as TOC (total oxidizable
carbon or total organic carbon).
- Utilizing a 185nm wavelength the UV energy promotes free radicals in varying degrees of photochemical excitement.
- These hydroxyl (OH-) free radicals break various chemical bonds of organics which in turn produce chain reactions.
- The chain reactions oxidize most organics into CO2 and H2O – the basic building blocks of all organic compounds.
Ultraviolet Disinfection
- Ultraviolet lights used for disinfection emit 254nm waves that penetrate the outer cell membrane of microorganisms.
- The wave passes through the cell body, reaches the DNA and alters the genetic material.
- The microorganisms are thereby destroyed in a non-chemical manner and are unable to reproduce.
