Ultraviolet wastewater disinfection systems

Ultraviolet wastewater disinfection systems

Ultraviolet (UV) disinfection or UV wastewater treatment systems disinfect water running through a stainless steel chamber containing a UV lamp. As water flows past the lamp, illness-causing microorganisms receive a lethal dose of UV light that attacks their DNA and eliminates their ability to reproduce. Harmful bacteria and viruses are deactivated. UV water disinfection is a safe, chemical-free way to treat water. Even chlorine-resistant microorganisms are made harmless through UV exposure.

Benefits of UV Disinfection:

  • Chemical-free
  • Easy to install and service
  • Economical and energy efficient
  • Addresses a broader range of pathogens than chlorine – some protozoa like Cryptosporidium and Giardia are resistant to chlorination.
  • Recognized by regulators including USEPA
