How to Simply Boost the Efficiency of Your UV Disinfection Unit

After years of development, UV disinfectors are widely used in drinking water, food, beverages, electronic products, chemicals, wastewater treatment, and more. Featuring high-intensity, odorless UV sterilization lamps and specially treated stainless steel inner walls to simplify the process, pre-treated water flows through UV with ample UV exposure. The irradiation provides excellent sterilization effects. Moreover, it boasts ease of use, broad spectrum, no secondary pollution, convenient management, and automation advantages.
Many users have reported that the efficiency of the UV sterilizers is too low. This actually relates to many aspects. Let's take a look at how to address it together.
Addressing the issue of photorespiration.
To achieve concealed outflow, the channel is designed to minimize visibility prior to water treatment. Additionally, dark containers containing test water samples are used, and they are promptly sent for inspection to avoid factors such as storage conditions or testing time affecting the results.
Enhance Transparency:
We have adjusted the front-end processing technology to reduce the SS quality concentration in the water of the ultraviolet disinfection unit. We have shifted from ultraviolet disinfection to ozone decolorization, which has lowered the incoming water's color level to ensure SS is kept below 10 mg/L. We have also refined the front-end technology to strictly control the usage of PAM and other chemicals, and installed defoaming devices at the inlet of the external disinfection unit to decrease foam content in the water and enhance its light transmittance.
High UV dose:
To increase the UV dose, either by extending the contact time or by adding more UV tubes to the system. Generally, the volume of a reaction vessel is difficult to alter, but the intensity of UV radiation can be enhanced by either increasing the number of UV lamps or boosting their power.
4. Miscellaneous:
Arc-treating the inner edges of the rectangular reactor to optimize its hydraulic conditions and reduce short-circuiting. Currently, UV disinfection has evolved into a mature and reliable sterilization technology, widely used in various fields domestically and internationally, serving as an alternative to traditional chemicals. The mainstream sterilization technology, wastewater treated with UV sterilization can effectively achieve recycling, thereby suitable for irrigation of farmland, forests, and lawns, etc., avoiding the consumption of chemical substances. Against the damage to plants caused by toxins; groundwater replenishment can prevent microorganisms from adapting to chemical disinfectants and re-spreading, causing ground layer blockages.
