Our Science and Technology Center is committed to innovating new product designs and providing our customers with the very latest in UV light technology across all application disciplines. This section will provide technical information that demonstrates the many capabilities we offer to provide solutions to your most demanding UV application needs. Light is electromagnetic radiation, or radiant energy traveling in the form of waves. UV energy is found in the electromagnetic spectrum between visible light and x-rays and can best be described as invisible radiation. The energy employed for UV water treatment is further categorized into two primary levels measured as wavelengths - 254 nm and 185 nm, where nm = 1/1000 of a micron. For disinfection and ozone destruction applications, the 254nm wavelength is utilized. For TOC reduction and chlorine destruction applications a unique wavelength is utilized. The UV radiation penetrates the outer cell wall of the microorganism, passes through the cell body, reaches the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and alters the genetic material. The microorganisms are thereby destroyed in a non-chemical manner (Figure 1). The 254 nm UV light is also used to destroy residual ozone present in a water stream. The 185 nm UV light, utilized in TOC reduction applications, decomposes the organic molecules. The 185 nm light carries more energy than the 254 nm light. The 185 nm light generates hydroxyl (OH·) free radicals from water molecules. All Colorguard® UV lamps are manufactured to exclusive specifications for optimal performance in uvAQUAFINE UV equipment. Validated Lamps are optional. The following lamps are available: STANDARD - These lamps have been the mainstay of uvAQUAFINE UV systems for decades. Like all uvAQUAFINE UV lamps, they undergo a rigorous quality control inspection and testing program. Available in SE and DE. HIGH EFFICIENCY (HE) - A low pressure, long life, high intensity lamp which greatly increases the capacity and performance of the unit. Available in SE only. HIGH OUTPUT (HX) - These lamps feature a higher UV intensity output. They are especially ideal for critical TOC reduction applications. Available in SE only. VALIDATED - As well as uvAQUAFINE’s rigorous testing, these lamps also undergo a complete lamp “burn-in” procedure, are individually challenged and traceable and are shipped complete with validation documentation. Available in SE and DE. |
