UV disinfection is a process intended to inactivate human pathogens such
as viruses, bacteria and protozoa that are potentially present in raw
water before receiving proper disinfection. As water passes through the
UV unit, an ultraviolet range of light inactivates these human
pathogens. UV disinfects water containing bacteria and viruses and can
be effective against protozoans like Giardia lamblia cysts or
Cryptosporidium oocysts. UV has been used commercially for many years in
the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, beverage, and electronics industries.
Ultraviolet light is another disinfection method for destroying
disease-causing organisms in wastewater effluent in onsite wastewater
treatment systems. The UV light destroys the genetic material of
microorganisms which prevents them from reproducing.
The main benefits of using UV water treatment systems
1.
Cost-effective.
2. No change to the taste or odor of the water.
3. Simple maintenance.
4. No disinfection by-products.
5. Reduce plastic bottle usage.
6. Environmentally friendly.
7. No moving parts to wear out.
8. Compact systems to fit in small and large places.
