Ultraviolet Disinfection Systems
Disinfection with ultraviolet systems is the process of inactivating microorganisms by using UV-C rays without adding any chemicals or oxidants to the water.
Ultraviolet (UV) disinfection devices consist of special UV lamps that produce UV-C rays with a wavelength of 254 nm in the UV reactor and special quartz glasses with high light transmission rate that prevent the contact of these lamps with water. DNA and RNA structures of microorganisms are destroyed by photooxidation. Since disinfection is done without the use of heat and chemicals, there is no change in the taste and chemical composition of the water.
There is a time counter on the control panel of the UV device and the working hours of the UV lamps are followed with it. Thus, it is possible to change the lamps at certain intervals when it is time to change. With the models in which there is a UV sensor that measures the light intensity in the UV reactor online, the quartz glass covers can be cleaned optionally with the automatic quartz cleaning system in cases such as the decrease in the light intensity.
