Ultraviolet Technology Provides Powerful Water Purification


Ultraviolet technology provides very powerful and effective water purification treatment to a number of industries with effective germicidal functions.  UV radiation is proven highly effective at eradicating viruses, bacteria, fungi and harmful microorganisms from water and is utilized worldwide in a multitude of water purification applications.

Some industries realizing the benefits of UV water purification include:  

  • Aquaculture / Marine and Freshwater hatcheries
  • Water reclamation
  • Waste water treatment
  • Shipping industry / Ballast Water Treatment
  • Municipalities and drinking water systems 

Aquaculture and Fishing Hatcheries 

Maintaining the well-being and overall health of our planet’s marine life is critical to sustaining the world’s oceans.  UV technology provides effective disinfection of fish hatcheries and farms, promoting the sustainability of marine life and oceans.  Water preserves, hatcheries and aquariums benefit from the powerful technology of UV radiation.   

Wastewater Treatment and Water Reclamation 

UV germicidal technology is proven highly effective at cleansing wastewater to eradicate contaminants prior to releasing into natural water sources.  Community systems and municipalities in towns, cities and rural areas all utilize the powerful effects of UV radiation to treat their water systems.   

Shipping Industry and Ballast Water Treatment Systems 

The latest edition of the Ballast Water Treatment Convention (BWTC), updated last September of 2017, requires all ships in international waters to utilize some form of an effective ballast water treatment system.  UV radiation is utilized in several ballast water treatment systems, eradicating ballast water of harmful organisms, bacteria and viruses before releasing into foreign ports.  

UV germicidal treatment of ballast water is US Coast Guard approved and meets all guidelines and requirements of the BWTC.   

Municipalities and Drinking Water Systems 

UV germicidal lamps are also used in local water purification and drinking water systems, safety eliminating parasites and bacteria causing illness from water to make it safe for consumption.  UV water treatment for consumption has benefits over other methods such as chemical use by eliminating exposure to hazardous chemicals.   

UV water purification systems are highly effective and will reduce long term costs with low maintenance, and no need to continually purchase and store chemicals.
