Enhance Water Safety with Advanced UV Systems and Components
Ultraviolet (UV) light is a highly effective and established method for water disinfection, renowned for its ability to inactivate microorganisms and reduce harmful chemical compounds. Aquafine UV systems and components stand out in the industry, offering superior engineering advantages that extend equipment lifespan and ensure reliable performance.
Aquafine UV systems operate using two specific wavelengths of UV light to address different water treatment needs. The 185nm wavelength is utilized primarily for Total Organic Carbon (TOC) reduction. It works by breaking down organic molecules into carbon dioxide and water, significantly improving water purity. The 254nm wavelength, on the other hand, is dedicated to disinfection and ozone destruction, ensuring that harmful microorganisms are effectively eliminated.
The advantages of UV disinfection are considerable. This method is highly effective, capable of destroying 99.99% of microorganisms. It operates quickly, requiring only a fraction of the contact time needed by traditional disinfection methods. Additionally, UV disinfection is clean—no chemicals are used, which means that UV treatment does not alter the color, taste, or flavor of the water, nor does it produce harmful byproducts.
Aquafine UV systems are constructed from 316L stainless steel, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion. They feature passivated and electropolished surfaces with sanitary fittings available to meet high hygiene standards. The Colorguard™ lamps used in these systems are color-coded for easy identification and come with traceable validation for reliability. The single-end lamp design facilitates quicker and easier lamp changes with fewer disconnects.
Approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), UV disinfection is a trusted choice for a variety of applications, including TOC reduction, disinfection, ozone destruction, and chlorine/chloramine removal.
