Ultraviolet light in water treatment
It is the effective and versatile solution
Ultraviolet light in water treatment is a powerful and widely used tool thanks to its ability to denature the genetic load of bacteria and viruses, preventing their reproduction. At Soluwater, we understand the importance of this technology in water disinfection and want to share with you how it works and why it is so effective.
Ultraviolet (UV) light, specifically UVC at a wavelength of 254 nm, is capable of deactivating pathogenic microorganisms by damaging their genetic material. However, its effectiveness can vary depending on a number of factors, such as reactor design, water quality, turbulence and other technical aspects. That is why at Soluwater we ensure that we use bioassay-validated equipment to guarantee effective disinfection, establishing adequate doses to completely eliminate pathogens.

In addition to its role in water disinfection, UV light is also used in ozone detection and removal, especially in pharmaceutical applications where it is crucial to remove these oxidising compounds. In cases where oxidation of organic compounds is required, UV light can generate highly oxidising hydroxyl radicals, which facilitates Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) that degrades even the most resistant compounds.
Advanced oxidation (AOP)
At Soluwater, we have an Advanced Oxidation Plant (AOP) that combines various techniques, such as ozonation, photo-oxidation and pre- and post-AOP processes, to ensure the reduction of micropollutants in water. This technology is essential for the reuse and potabilisation of complex water, offering a comprehensive and effective solution for water treatment in a variety of environments.
In short, ultraviolet light is an invaluable tool in water treatment, providing effective disinfection and helping to address the challenges associated with the presence of microorganisms and contaminants in the water supply.
At Soluwater, we are committed to implementing advanced technologies that ensure water quality and safety at all times.
