Application of UV Technology in Process Water
Ultraviolet light is proven to be a cost effective method for reducing microbial contamination in water. As such, UV is becoming increasingly common for disinfection, across a wide range of applications and industries:
- Water recycling (recirculation loops)
- Discharge water (a.k.a. Wastewater)
- Cooling water
- Rinse water
Contaminated Rinse water for consumable products can shorten product shelf life and creates the potential for human infection. For manufacturing processes rinse water must be clean to ensure product quality and protect equipment from aggressive impurities.
As water costs increase, Water recycling loops that utilize UV for disinfection are a cost effective way to use water for multiple operations prior to discharge.
Microbial growth in Cooling water and the associated bio-film can shorten the life of equipment and cause costly down-time or chronic manufacturing issues.
Discharge water is becoming the focus of increased scrutiny from pollution control boards. For many companies it is necessary to disinfect discharge water and UV is often the best option because it is reliable and does not create residual byproducts.
