High Flow Commercial UV Bacteria Treatment & Water Purification Systems

Product Overview

Description

 

 

Water Quality (in)

Water quality plays a major role in the transmission of germicidal UV rays. It is recommended that the water does not exceed following maximum concentration levels

 

Maximum Concentration Levels (Very Important)

Iron	≤0.3ppm(0.3mg/L)
Hardness	≤7gpg(120mg/L)
Turbidity	≤1NTU
Manganese	≤0.05ppm(0.05mg/L)
Tannins	≤0.1ppm(0.3mg/L)
UV Transmittance	≥750‰

 

Effectively treating water with higher concentration levels than listed above can be accomplished, but may require added measures to improve water quality to treatable levels. If, for any reason, it is believed the UV transmission is not satisfactory, contact the factory.

UV wavelength (nm)

 

DOSAGE is the product of intensity & time dosage=intensity*time=micro watt/cm2*time=microwatt-seconds per square centimeter                               (μW-s/cm2)                Note:1000μW-s/cm2=1mj/cm2(milli-joule/cm2)

 

As a general guideline, the following are some typical UV transmission rates (UVT)

City water supplies	850-980‰
De-ionized or Reverse Osmosis water	950-980‰
Surface waters(lakes, rivers, etc)	700-900‰
Ground water(wells)	900-950‰
Other liquids	10-990‰

 

 Technical parameter

There are several advantages of using UV water filtration system rather than a chemical disinfection solution (such as chlorination):

1.No known toxic or significant nontoxic byproducts

2.No danger of overdosing

3.Does not require storage of hazardous material

4.Adds no smell to the final water product

5.Requires very little contact time

 

 

Ultraviolet water purification systems are used in many applications that includes home/residential

 (both well water and municipal water supplies), commercial, and industrial. Here is a list of several

 applications where the power of UV water sterilizers are commonly used to treat and protect the 

water supply for contaminates such as bacteria and viruses. UV systems applications include private wells, campgrounds, hotels, bottlers, aquaculture, hospitals, food, cottages, restaurants, breweries,

 water systems, laboratories, marine, pharmaceutical, dairies and many other applications.

 

 

 

UV sterilizers work on the principle that special fluorescent UV lamps can effectively irradiate (kill) microorganisms in aquarium water when they are exposed to this light. UV light, at a peak wavelength of approximately 254 nanometers, alters the genetic material in the organism's nucleus and shortens its normal life cycle. Theoretically, UV sterilizers can kill viruses, bacteria, algae, and protozoa with no residual effects. However, the organisms must be free-floating and travel through the UV sterilizer unit for the sterilizer to work. It has no effect on organisms attached to fish or rocks because they do not flow through the unit and cannot be exposed to the UV light.

 

 UV sterilizers are not a replacement for good biological and mechanical filtration, regular water changes, or proper control of the nitrogen cycle.
