Ultraviolet light in water treatment
It's 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 material 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 efficacy can vary depending on various factors, such as reactor design, water quality, turbulence, and other technical aspects. This is why at Soluwater, we ensure the use of equipment validated by bioassays to guarantee effective disinfection, establishing adequate doses to completely eliminate pathogens.
Ozone detection and removal with ultraviolet light
In addition to its role in water disinfection, ultraviolet light is also used in ozone detection and removal, especially in pharmaceutical applications where it is crucial to eliminate these oxidising compounds. In cases where the oxidation of organic compounds is required, UV light can generate highly oxidising hydroxyl radicals, facilitating an Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) that degrades even the most resistant compounds.
Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOP)
At Soluwater, we have an Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) plant that combines various techniques, such as ozonation, photo-oxidation, and pre- and post-AOP processes, to ensure the reduction of microcontaminants in water. This technology is essential for the reuse and potabilisation of complex waters, offering a comprehensive and effective solution for water treatment in a variety of settings.
In summary, ultraviolet light is an invaluable tool in water treatment, providing effective disinfection and helping to address challenges associated with the presence of microorganisms and contaminants in the water supply.
At Soluwater, we are committed to implementing advanced technologies that guarantee water quality and safety at all times.
