UV disinfection unit

for drinking waterstationary

Ultraviolet disinfection equipment channels water through lamps that emit high doses of UV rays in the range of 200-280 nm to destroy bacteria, amoebas and viruses, without altering the taste, smell and color of the water. The lamp consists of a 316 stainless steel reaction chamber, integrated with a quartz tube and germicidal ultraviolet lamp, and a power source. Ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 254 nm has the ability to kill bacteria by penetrating through their cell layer and destroying their genetic information (DNA). Each type of bacteria requires a different dose. The dose is measured in microwatts per second per square centimeter (µW s/cm2). The minimum dose provided by the equipment is 30,000 µW s/cm2 at the end of the lamp's useful life (9,000 h or 1 year). There are few microorganisms that manage to survive this dose, and their size is very large (relatively speaking) so they would be retained in the previous processes, especially in the cartridge filter. This system requires a 5 micron filter, periodic cleaning of the components and changing the light bulb every 12 months maximum. It is important to ensure that the 5 micron cartridge is in good condition as the UV light can be obstructed by dust particles or other sediments that cause a shadow large enough to protect one or more bacteria. The lifespan of the lamps is 9,000 hours or one calendar year. The equipment has a system that keeps track of the months of operation. We offer the national line of the INSTAPURA brand and the imported line of the TROJANUV brand. Both with equipment made of stainless steel with high intensity lamps and different models for various capacities.
