UV DISINFECTION SYSTEM FOR WATER TREATMENT
UV Disinfection System is an extremely effective way to combat microbial contamination in water. However, microbes have to be exposed to UV-C light in the proper amount in order to effectively disinfect the water.
UV Disinfection System is an extremely effective way to combat microbial contamination in water. However, microbes have to be exposed to UV-C light in the proper amount in order to effectively disinfect the water. UV Disinfection Systems are used in many different applications ranging from the purification of drinking water in individual homes to disinfecting the water supply of entire townships to industrial wastewater treatment. UV treatment for water is recognized as a safer and more cost-effective way to disinfect water for industrial applications
UV sanitization is useful in almost any application where microbial-free, safe and pure water is required; and where there is a chance of the water being contaminated before it reaches the final point of use.
1] What Is UV Disinfection System?
In UV water disinfection technology, Ultraviolet light of wavelength 253.7 nanometers is used for the disinfection of bacteria, viruses, molds, algae, and other microorganisms, which multiply and grow. Ultraviolet disinfection technology destroys the DNA of microorganisms which leaves them dead and unable to grow further. UV disinfection technology can be used for drinking water disinfection, process water disinfection, wastewater disinfection, and surface disinfection. Other than disinfection applications, UV water filtration system can also be used for TOC removal and Ozone destruction. Plus, there is a UV sterilizer for hospitals, factories, and offices.
2] How Does UV Disinfection System Work?
In the UV water disinfection technology, the UV light disinfects by penetrating microorganisms and destroying their DNA. DNA plays an important role in organisms’ functions and reproduction hence destroying the DNA prevents the organism from being active and multiplying. This UV energy (wavelength of 240-280 nm) is also naturally found in sunlight in very small quantities. The same energy is produced at stronger intensities with the help of high mercury discharge lamps, commonly known as UV lamps.
No bacteria, viruses, molds, or spores can survive when exposed to the correct dose of UV light. Therefore UV is considered as the best solution for water sterilization, and for room sterilization, there is the UV mobile sterilizer machine that can be used.
3] Industrial Applications of UV Disinfection System
An ultraviolet disinfection system is not simply a lamp inside a pipe. The UV Reactor must be designed to ensure that all microbes receive sufficient exposure to the UV disinfection light (dose). Based on the hydraulic properties of water; the reactor needs to be optimized to guide the flow in a manner so as to maximize residence time and boost turbulence. Well designed Industrial UV water disinfection systems are producing consistently exceptional results in the industrial applications
4] Benefits of UV Disinfection System
Natural – UV water treatment system is nature’s way of purification.
Environmentally Friendly – No Toxic by-products are formed during the UV disinfection process
Effective – All known microorganisms are susceptible to UV light
Economical – Lowest operating cost among disinfection systems
Safe and Chemical-Free – No addition of chemicals hence no danger of overdosing
Fast – It is In-contact purification therefore Instant
Easy to Manage – Well-designed systems like the Bharti Automation UV systems come with many advanced features like CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics), high-efficiency electronic ballasts, and extremely precise UV intensity monitors which make them highly effective and hence easy to manage.
