UV Disinfection Equipment: Powerful Solution to Disinfect Water and Air

UV disinfection technologies offer a non-chemical method to destroy microbes and eliminate disease-causing organisms from water and air without adding harmful pollutants or other byproducts. UV disinfection has become a widely adopted approach for many water treatment and indoor air quality applications due to its high effectiveness, reliability, and increasingly lower costs.

Types of UV Disinfection Equipment

There are two main categories of UV disinfection equipment based on application - water purification systems and air disinfection systems. Within each category, specific equipment types are designed for various flow rates, volumes, and installation parameters.

Water Disinfection Systems

Low pressure lamps - Designed for low to medium flow rates, low pressure lamps use low-intensity UV lamps within water mains or channels to disinfect water as it flows through. Suitable for points-of-use/entry and whole-house systems.

Medium pressure lamps - For higher water volumes and flow rates, medium pressure UV Disinfection Equipment lamps operate at higher intensities to deliver more potent UV doses and ensure full disinfection. Common in municipal water treatment plants and commercial facilities.

Amalgam lamps - An amalgam lamp uses an electrode coated with an amalgam filling made of mercury and another metal. These lamps emit particular UV spectra ideal for killing microbes and require robust and specialized ballast and power systems.

Air Disinfection Systems

Lower room air - Portable tabletop or floor standing devices are intended to disinfect a small to medium sized room by circulating air past low pressure UV lamps. Common in healthcare facilities between patients.

Duct mounted - Installed inside HVAC ductwork, duct mounted systems deliver UV light through the ventilation system to purify air in commercial buildings like offices and schools.

Upper room - Suspended UV fixtures mounted high on walls blast UV rays upwards to inactivate airborne organisms without directly exposing people below. Effective solution for public spaces.

How UV Disinfection Works

All UV disinfection systems function on similar principles to successfully attack pathogens:

- UV lamps generate shortwave ultraviolet light typically in the UVC spectrum range of 200-280 nanometers, which is the most germicidal range.

- As water or air passes through or near the UV system, any microorganisms present are exposed to the UVC radiation.

- The UVC light penetrates the cell walls and nucleic DNA/RNA of bacteria, viruses, and other microbes.

- The UV energy bonds with the organism's genetic material, distorting its structure through formation of thymine dimers, rendering it inactive and unable to multiply or cause infection.

- With sufficient UV dose delivered by the system, all pathogens passing through are deactivated or destroyed, resulting in water or air completely free of living microorganisms.
