UV Water Treatment Systems: Eco-Friendly and Safe Water Disinfection

UV water treatment systems use germicidal UVC to reduce susceptible microorganisms as water moves through a treatment chamber or reactor. Most conventional systems use UVC at or near 254 nm, a wavelength widely used in drinking water, industrial process water, aquaculture, wastewater, water reuse, and other applications. UV is often …

Understanding UV Water Disinfection

UV water disinfection uses germicidal UVC radiation to inactivate target microorganisms as water passes through a properly designed treatment chamber. The lamp generates the UVC output, but the complete reactor determines how much dose reaches the moving water and whether that dose is distributed across the full flow path. For …

Verschiedenen Einsatzmöglichkeiten von UV-Licht

Die Einsatzmöglichkeiten von UV-Licht umfassen eine breite Palette von Anwendungen in gewerblichen, industriellen und medizinischen Einrichtungen. Ultraviolettes Licht (UV-Licht) wird basierend auf dem Nanometer oder der Wellenlänge der UV-Emissionen in drei grundlegende Kategorien unterteilt: UVA, UVB und UVC. UVC-Licht hat die kürzeste Wellenlänge, die von der Sonne ausgestrahlt wird, und …

UV Light in the Fight Against PFAS Contamination

UV Light in the Fight Against Forever Chemicals: A Closer Look at PFAS Destruction Ultraviolet light, a longstanding tool in the battle against microbial pathogens, now shows promising potential in the fight against one of today’s most daunting environmental challenges: PFAS contamination. As regulatory pressures mount and public awareness of …

Killing Bacteria with UV Light

Killing bacteria with UV light is highly effective when using UVC germicidal lamps, which are designed to emit shortwave UVC radiation. This radiation has been proven to kill many types of bacteria, as well as viruses, mold, mildew, harmful pathogens, and foul odors. UV light can be divided into UVA …

Does UV Light Kill COVID-19?

COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019) is the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, which is the cause of a viral outbreak that led to a devastating global pandemic. Public health systems and economies worldwide have been ravaged by this virus and many people are asking the question, “Does UV light …

Ozone Light Bulbs with High Quality Quartz Glass

Ozone is naturally produced from ultraviolet light, with ozone light bulbs replicating the UV wavelength needed to produce ozone. When we hear the word ozone, we think of the ozone layer in the atmosphere. This ozone layer is produced from UV light, and filters most of the UV light from …

UV Treatment of Ballast Water for Large Flows

Ballast water is used when vessels take ocean water into special compartments, called ballasts, to provide stability and optimal waterline on a ship’s hull. Ballast water is either taken onto the ship or released back into the ocean as cargo is loaded or unloaded to maintain balance and structural integrity. …
