The equipment is designed to remove pathogenic viruses, harmful bacteria, and fungi from drinking water.
The use of ultraviolet radiation ensures sanitary safety of the water without altering its taste, chemical composition, or physicochemical properties.
This disinfection method does not require chemical reagents and does not produce by-products, making it safe for both the end user and the environment.
THE PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The disinfection effect is achieved through damage to pathogenic microorganisms caused by photochemical radiant energy. The unit consists of a disinfection chamber and a control panel. The housing is made of AISI 304 stainless steel. The bactericidal lamp is installed inside a quartz sleeve, with watertight sealing ensured by a gasket.
The bactericidal irradiation process operates as follows: water enters the disinfection unit under pressure or by gravity flow, where viruses and bacteria are inactivated by exposure to ultraviolet radiation with a wavelength of 200–300 nm.
The disinfection mechanism is based on the destruction of the DNA and RNA structure of microorganisms under ultraviolet exposure, as a result of which they lose their ability to reproduce.
During operation, the liquid flow passes uniformly through the treatment chamber, ensuring consistent exposure to ultraviolet radiation across the entire cross-section of the flow. This guarantees stable and reliable disinfection performance.
To maintain consistent efficiency, the system is equipped with a periodic quartz sleeve cleaning system, which prevents fouling, scale formation, and reduction of hydraulic capacity.
