Water Treatment Systems Ultraviolet - Their Beneficial Uses The ultraviolet lamps for water treatment by UV produce UV-C. No UV-C rays of the sun ever come into contact with life on earth, they are completely filtered by the atmosphere. However, man produced UV-C. UV-C lamps are used in biology laboratory for the effects of germicides. The UV-C radiation with an intensity far greater than the sunlight and are used in the treatment of water to sterilize it.
The UV filter can kill most bacteria and viruses in water. However, this type of water treatment does not completely purify water. Indeed, it does not address the water against chemical pollutants, for example. The installation of water purification ultraviolet are therefore combined with other systems, water purification, UV light generally has no impact on chlorine, heavy metals and other chemical contaminants.
How UV works water treatment system?
The purification of water by ultraviolet uses a UV light source (lamp), which is encased in a protective transparent sleeve (usually quartz). The lamp is mounted such that water passes through the filter by a flow chamber. The water is then exposed to UV-C. When microbes are exposed to harmful UV rays, their nucleic acid absorbs UV energy, which blurs the structure of DNA. The cell is rendered sterile and can no longer reproduce. The cell is now considered dead and no longer a threat.
Why use a UV water purification?
UV technology water purification is probably the most cost effective and efficient on the market today. It allows homeowners and business owners to remove a range of biological contaminants in their water supply. The UV water treatment offers many advantages over other forms of water treatment for microbiological contaminants. Above all, it does not leave chemicals in the water, it produces no by-product, and it does not change the taste, pH or other properties of water. Therefore, in addition to producing drinking water, it is safe for plumbing and septic tank.
UV treatment is an excellent choice for the elimination of biological contamination of most water. If your home or business requires an additional filtration or if you have a source of private untreated water (rainwater, lake water, wells, etc.). The sole purpose of processing system ' UV water to kill harmful biological contaminants.
No organism can resist the ultra violet rays, unlike the treatment of water with chlorine. UV is known to be highly effective against bacteria, viruses and algae. In practice, bacteria and viruses are the cause of many diseases carried by water. Among these viruses, hepatitis and Legionnaires' disease have demonstrated their ability to survive for long periods of treatment with chlorine, but are easily removed by UV treatment. For most micro-organisms, the effectiveness of UV against microbiological contaminants such as bacteria and viruses in general more than 99.99%.
The UV water treatment is very effective (+ 99.99%) cons; salmonella (typhoid fever), Salmonella enteritidis (gastroenteritis), Vibrio cholerae (cholera)), Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB), Legionella pneumophila (Legionella ), influenza virus, polio, and Hepatitus.
