Water quality
U.V.
Ultraviolet Light
And treatment systems disinfect
water using UV light (UV), ensuring the elimination of between 99.9% and 99.99 pathogens.
To achieve this degree of effectiveness almost complete by this physical process, it is absolutely essential that the process water prior to almost completely eliminate any turbidity thereof as
Ultraviolet be perfectly able to cross the flow of water to be treated.
For water purifiers work by UV "radiation" or "lighting" of the water flow to one or more silicon quartz lamps with wavelengths of 200 to 300 nanometers. Thus, without stopping the water flows through the interior of the purifiers, which
contain these lamps.
UV light does not change the properties of the water or air, that is,
not chemically alters the structure of the treated fluid.
Unlike chemical disinfection techniques, which involve the handling of hazardous substances and reactions that result in unwanted byproducts, UV disinfection process
offers a clean, safe, effective and proven through decades of successful applications.

FEATURES OF UV LIGHT DISINFECTION
GERMICIDAL
• Disinfection Instantly and Efficiently
•
Safe
• Cleans
• The most cost-effective
•
Environmentally appropriate
All current disinfection methods, ultraviolet light (UV)
is more efficient, economical and safe. Moreover, its
germicidal action is done in seconds or fractions thereof, and is environmentally the most appropriate method, used world over several decades.
The UV light occurs naturally within the electromagnetic spectrum of solar radiation in the range between 200 and 300 nanometers (nm) known as UV-C, which is lethal to microorganisms.
The
use of ultraviolet light to purify drinking water is not new, it is a concept that has existed for over one hundred years, despite its early beginnings, the science behind UV disinfection is
complex. To
understand the basics of how UV light purifies water requires a relatively deep understanding of physics, chemistry and biology.
