UV Disinfection Systems

Ultra Violet Disinfection is a well established, simple and safe technology used for the purpose of disinfecting water without the use of chemicals. UV treatment of water is an extremely effective and low cost solution that kills most waterborne viruses and bacteria. It renders Legionella, Salmonella, E-coli and most other waterborne bacteria harmless.

Potable water systems benefit from UV treatment at the point of use, in that good microbiological quality control is guaranteed. Bacteria and viruses have varying cell wall thickness. This determines the amount of UV light exposure required to prevent their reproduction. The intensity of UV light is measured in micro-watt per centimetre squared (uWsec/cm²).

The most common undesirable bacteria and viruses require an average exposure of between 4,000 and 12,000 uWsec/cm², some typical examples are outlined below. The range of products is designed to give an output of between 30,000 and 40,000 uWsec/cm².

Typical applications include: portable water supplies, cold water services, private water supplies such as boreholes and wells, rainwater harvesting systems, humidifiers, laboratory water.
