High Flow Commercial UV Bacteria Treatment  Water Purification Systems

UV Disinfection

As water flows past the UV lamp(s) in a UV disinfection system, microorganisms are exposed to Ultraviolet light energy. Ultraviolet light alters the DNA material in cells so that bacteria, viruses, molds, algae and other microorganisms can no longer reproduce. The microorganisms are considered dead, and the risk of disease from them is eliminated. These Ultraviolet Disinfection Systems are designed for commercial & industrial applications. The process of UV Disinfection is accomplished without adding any harmful chemicals to your drinking water and does not distort the water or effect its pH value. UV Disinfection has an effective kill rate of 99.99% of most living microorganisms such as bacteria & viruses.

Maintenance requirements for UV units

Lamp Replacement
UV lamps do not burn out as normal florescent lamps do. Instead, the UV lamps will solarize, reducing their intensity to about 60% of a new lamp after about one year of continuous use. When lamps are new, they will generate a dosage level near 60,000 µW-s/cm2 . When the dosage drops to 30,000 µW-s/cm2 (the minimum dosage needed to effectively kill bacteria) lamps should be replaced. Lamp life will be shortened significantly if the lamp is turned on and off more frequently than once every eight hours.

Monitoring Performance
Water should be sampled and tested for bacteria counts regularly. Sample before and after the UV unit to test its performance. Water should also be sampled in the animal rooms since bacteria regrowth can occur downstream of the UV unit.

Cleaning
As water passes through the UV unit, minerals, debris and other material in the water will deposit out and onto the quartz or Teflon sleeve. This will limit the penetration of UV rays through the sleeve and into the water. To maintain high clarity, the glass around the lamp must be cleaned regularly. Cleaning frequency depends on the water quality and will be minimal with RO, distilled, or deionized water.

Monitoring UV Dosage
UV light intensity meters are available which indicate the penetration of UV light through the glass sleeve and the water. Low intensity means the UV dose is too low to provide adequate disinfection. This meter will indicate when cleaning or lamp replacement is needed


FAQ:

Q. Does the water have to sit in the UV sterilizer to be disinfected? 
A. No. If the system is sized correctly, the water is disinfected as it flows through. 
 
Q. What if the water flows faster than is allowed through the system? 
A. If the flow rate exceeds the design flow rate of the UV sterilizer, then there is a possibility that the water will not be properly disinfected. It is important to use a flow restrictor so that the flow rate cannot be exceeded. 
 
Q. How long does the lamp last? 
A. The lamps last approximately 10,000 hours. That is why we recommend replacement approximately every 12 - 14 months of continuous operation. After this period, the lamp itself becomes solarized and blocks the rays form entering the water. 
 
Q. Are these systems bigger energy users? 
A. No. The 12 gallon per minute model, for instance uses only 39 watts, about half the amount an ordinary light bulb uses.
 
Q. My water is sometimes cloudy. Is that a problem? 
A. Yes. The water that enters the ultraviolet sterilizer must be absolutely clear and have a turbidity of less than 1 NTU. If your water is cloudy, then it must be pretreated.
