In this article we summarize the pros and cons of industrial UV water treatment with an emphasis on operation In countries where water supply is based on groundwater, the water is rarely polluted with microorganisms (bacteria, virus, etc.) and there’s usually no need for additional security measures at a utility level. Nevertheless, some utilities opt […]

In this article we summarize the pros and cons of UV water treatment of drinking water. When it comes to treatment of drinking water, UV systems are considered an additional security to prevent microbiological contamination. Without the additional security from an UV system, a substantial amount of contaminated water may reach the end users before […]

UV effectively inactivates microorganisms Disinfection with UV is a fast process that effectively inactivates microorganisms. When virus, bacteria and protozoa are exposed to UV, the DNA of the cells get altered so they will not be able to reproduce anymore and they will hence be harmless. The highest amount of energy from UV are emitted at […]

Getting the dimensions right of a UV system for water treatment requires expert know-how To determine the correct size for a UV treatment system one needs to know the flow-rate and the UV transmittance (UVT) in the water to be treated. When these are known, the UV size can be calculated based on experience and […]

Chlorine based water treatment vs UV based water treatment Traditionally, water has been disinfected by using chlorine. It is a cheap method but caution must be taken when dealing with highly toxic chemicals during transport, storage and daily operation. In the water treatment industry a lot of people have the impression that disinfection with chlorination […]
