Over the past few decades, the use of ultraviolet light for wastewater disinfection has grown tremendously. This technology is proven to be the environmentally-friendly alternative to chlorine disinfection. Today thousands of municipalities have converted from chemical based disinfection, such as chlorine gas or sodium hypochlorite (liquid bleach), to UV due to the many significant safety advantages for their communities, plant employees and local bodies of water. As new developments of wastewater treatment plants arise, the decision to employ UV disinfection has become the primary choice because of the initial cost savings and advantages in long term operation.
Ultraviolet disinfection is the only cost effective alternative that does not have the potential to create or release carcinogenic by-products into the environment. UV is also an effective disinfectant for chlorine-resistant protozoa like Cryptosporidium and Giardia. These harmful protozoa are unregulated in wastewater and if left untreated can find their way into the drinking water intakes located downstream of a wastewater treatment plant.
The conversion to UV disinfection can be easily retrofitted into an existing chlorine contact tank and has many significant benefits when compared to chlorine disinfection. Our open channel and closed vessel wastewater treatment systems are manufactured with high quality components and exacting specifications. These systems contain either chamber or modular channel systems and have both vertical and horizontal modules available.
