Ultraviolet disinfection
FROM: YIHUA DATE: 2021-07-30 Read()
In the UV water disinfection technology, Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) uses 253.7 nanometer ultraviolet (UV) light to kill microorganisms. It is effective in destroying the nucleic acids in these organisms so that their DNA is disrupted, leaving them unable to perform vital cellular functions or cause infections.
No bacteria, viruses, molds or their spores can survive when exposed to the correct dose of UV light. Therefore UV is considered as the best solution for water sterilization.
1. Food and Beverage– UV disinfection systems can help to achieve quality of water as per specifications laid down by the FDA ( Food and Drug Administration)
2. Bio- Pharmaceutical– Water used in pharmaceutical and healthcare products and for CIP (Cleaning in Place) must be free of chemicals like chlorine, ozone, and pathogens. Most pharmaceutical companies depend on UV systems for water disinfection.
3. Cosmetics– Water that is free of microorganisms and toxins ensure quality and enhance the shelf life of cosmetics. UV Sterilization is the preferred choice for the cosmetic industry across the globe.
4. Centralized DrinkingWater – A UV drinking water disinfection system is an easy, affordable solution to ensure pure water in each and every tap of your home or office
5. Waste Water Disinfection and Reuse– To combat the problems of water scarcity and rising cost of fresh water, UV Disinfection can help by treating the waste water in the tertiary stage. UV systems that are specially designed for wastewater can thus disinfect wastewater so that the water can be reused for secondary purposes such as flushing and gardening.
6. Swimming Pools– Traditionally, chlorine has been in use to ensure clean water in swimming pools. However, it is increasingly being known that with chemical disinfection, chemicals react with many other organic matters to form hundreds of new chemicals which are harmful. UV, which is a chemical free technology, is recognized as safer and more cost effective way to disinfect swimming pools.
