UV systems can be used to disinfect water in a wide variety of applications including drinking water, waste water, process water, swimming pools and ponds. UV lamps are available in wattages from 4 W up to 1000 W, allowing you to design disinfection systems for small (litres/min) up to very large municipal installations that use several hundred lamps.
UV systems for water purification
Residential equipment
Households can purify their drinking water by installing UV water purification systems at the point of entry in the home, at the point of use (such as kitchen sink) or via separate purifiers. Rainwater can also be disinfected before use. These UV systems are often combined with filters to remove other substances from the water (chlorine, particles). Lamp wattages up to 25 W are used.
Municipal installations
In municipal installations, UV is always used in combination with other purification technologies. Disinfection levels are regulated by the government and our UV systems are designed, validated and installed to guarantee water quality. Most installations allow lamp dimming to adapt the power to variations in water quality and water flow. Lamp wattages up to 1000 W.
Industrial applications
Industries require clean and disinfected water for many purposes – production processes (chemistry, cosmetics), rinsing and cleaning packaging material for food and beverages, agriculture in greenhouses, and advanced oxidation processes for the semiconductor industry. In all these industries water is used, recycled and reused. Typical lamp wattages range from 25 W to 250 W.
