What are Ultraviolet Water Purification Systems?

The disinfection process with ultraviolet systems, no chemicals or oxidants are added to the water. it is realized as a result of breaking down the DNA of viruses, bacteria and microorganisms by giving UV radiation with a wavelength of 254 nm. The disinfection system, which produces UV waves with the help of a Low-Pressure lamp, neutralizes bacteria, viruses, mold, fungi, algae and their eggs.

As a result, purified water is obtained in a microbiologically healthy way without disturbing the chemical and physical structure of the water. By-products such as THM harmful to the environment and human health are not formed.

Disinfection with UV technology is achieved using UV rays with a wavelength of 254 nm. When these rays come into contact with microorganisms, they damage their DNA through ‘photooxidation’, all cell activities, including reproduction, of a living being whose DNA is destroyed, stop, and cell death occurs. Disinfected water is heavily exposed to UV rays in UV units. Microorganisms in the water become ineffective.
UV Units are environmentally friendly and provide disinfection without the use of chemicals, and thus do not change the chemical property of water. Therefore, the disinfection time is very fast. There is no need for large contact tanks, which determines the long contact time required for disinfection with chemical substances.
