UV Disinfection
What it is UV Disinfection
UV disinfection is a water treatment method that utilizes ultraviolet (UV) light as a disinfectant due to its strong germicidal properties. UV light has enough energy to disrupt the DNA and RNA of microorganisms, effectively inactivating and preventing their replication.
How it works
Generating UV Light
UV disinfection systems use special lamps that produce ultraviolet light at a specific wavelength (about 254 nanometers). These light targets and kills harmful microorganisms in the water.
Water Exposure
Water passes through a chamber where it is exposed to UV light. This light penetrates the cells of harmful germs, disrupting their DNA and preventing them from reproducing or causing infections.
Immediate Action
The disinfection process occurs in seconds, making it a fast and efficient method for ensuring water safety.
