UV Disinfection Systems Protect Against Waterborne Pathogens.

When selecting a UV water treatment system, the water process flow is one of the most important factors to consider. The flow rate determines the amount of water treated in a given period.

Ultraviolet (UV) light is a crucial component of water disinfection systems. UV lamps generate light by vaporizing elemental mercury, making it an effective way to eliminate harmful microorganisms from water. However, in rare cases, a UV lamp might break, releasing mercury into the surrounding fluid, resulting in a health risk, which is why proper procedures to minimize the impact of a broken UV lamp are vital.

The value of accurately measuring UV Transmittance (UVT) when sizing a new UV disinfection system cannot be underestimated.

Some contaminants can cause a dramatic reduction in UV’s effectiveness when they are present in even small amounts.
