Wastewater reuse & recycling – The Alfaa UV edge

Why choose Alfaa UV for wastewater disinfection?

Alfaa UV Wastewater Disinfection Installation

UV technology for water disinfection has become a popular choice worldwide as an alternative to traditional chlorination. Some of the key benefits of UV technology for wastewater disinfection are:

• Excellent performance: Centralised sewage treatment plants operated by civic bodies, or decentralized waste water treatment done at the point of collection, have very good outcomes with UV treatment in the tertiary stage to bring microbiological contamination to acceptable levels for reuse.
• Easy handling: Chlorine disinfection creates operational and logistical hassles such as repeated procurement, storage, handling, dilution and mixing. It requires constant attention and supervision. UV wastewater disinfection system utilises no chemicals, works online and requires minimal supervision and maintenance.
• Environmental safety: The uncontrolled release of chlorinated compounds into the environment has created a global environmental problem. Alfaa UV uses environmentally friendly UV technology for wastewater disinfection and industrial wastewater treatment. No chemicals are used during the disinfection process.
• Operator safety: Leaks and spills of chlorine may lead to burns, permanent vision damage and lung damage. Both for wastewater disinfection and for industrial wastewater treatment, UV disinfection systems do not have any risks with handling, safety, flammability or explosion.
• No harmful by-products: Trihalomethanes and other toxic chlorine by-products are known to cause cancer in humans. When used for gardening, reused wastewater along with these carcinogenic compounds make their way into the subsoil and water table. When this water is pumped through borewells and used for drinking, these carcinogens put you at risk. Moreover, chlorinated water with concentrations greater than 5 mg/l causes severe damage to most plants and as such should not be used for gardening and landscaping. UV wastewater disinfection is a natural, chemical-free process which produces no trihalomethanes or carcinogens.
• Lower operating costs: Sodium Hypochlorite or “liquid chlorine” is expensive, with high running costs and associated handling costs. On the other hand, UV wastewater disinfection systems are cost-effective with payback periods of less than 2 years in most cases.

In addition, Alfaa UV offers the following specific advantages.

• Best-in class expertise: Alfaa UV has been at the forefront of installing environmentally-friendly UV purification technology for the disinfection of air and water at some of India’s prominent companies, over the past two decades.
• Quality assurance: Our design and manufacturing capabilities based on cutting-edge technologies have ensured excellent quality output for our clients.
• Right sizing: UV disinfection solutions from Alfaa UV are customized for your specific requirements. We ensure that your UV systems are designed to function effectively, since incorrect sizing can decrease your UV system's efficacy and impact performance.
• Regulatory compliance: Alfaa UV will enable you to meet the stringent regulatory requirements for wastewater reuse. We provide comprehensive documentation support for your audit processes.
• Excellent service: Alfaa UV offers robust customer support and service to ensure that your UV disinfection systems are operating effectively and consistently with minimum downtime. Whether you need phone support, need on-site maintenance expert site, or just want to acquire a replacement part, we are always there for you.

How Alfaa UV addressed wastewater disinfection challenges at NCR mall

Alfaa UV has successfully implemented its wastewater disinfection solution at one of the most prominent malls in NCR. Spread over 3 levels and spanning across a total area of 260,000 square feet, this was one of the first malls to open in NCR.

The mall had a 300 KLD sewage treatment plant (STP) of the extended aeration type. The treated water was being used for landscaping and cooling tower makeup.

The mall was facing the following challenges with their existing wastewater disinfection system:

• Problems with supply of Sodium Hypochlorite including quality, delivery and price
• Need for constant supervision (NaOCl level, NaOCl dilution, dosing pump setting and maintenance)
• Chlorine byproducts and residuals causing corrosion and smell in cooling tower system
• Challenges with achieving the pathogen count as required
• Heavy dependence on skill of system operator
• Difficulty in monitoring disinfection system performance and efficacy
• High cost of operating the system

Alfaa UV successfully installed its WWR series to handle the wastewater disinfection for the mall. The results were significant.

• Very good performance with pathogen count within acceptable limits for reuse of water
• Environmental friendly UV system with no chemicals used in the disinfection process
• No more challenges with supplies of chlorine
• No dependence on highly skilled operators
• Easy handling with a reduced requirement of supervision and maintenance
• Continuous 24x7 online monitoring system with audio-visual alarm
• Better cooling tower system performance with no corrosion problem
• Lower operating costs

Real-time remote performance monitoring of wastewater disinfection systems

Real-Time Monitoring

Alfaa UV is in the process of launching IOT-based remote monitoring of UV disinfection systems. IOT-based remote performance monitoring will deliver multiple benefits to Alfaa UV’s customers including:

• Real-Time Monitoring and Control: Continuous monitoring of important parameters such as UV intensity and dosage which determine the purity levels of the treated wastewater
• Alerts: Immediate alerts in case of system malfunctions or when above parameters deviate from the set norms
• Predictive Maintenance: Predict when the system requires maintenance, helping to prevent unexpected downtimes
• Safety: In case of a critical failure, the system can be shut down remotely to prevent any safety incidents or damage to the system, thereby saving costs in repair and maintenance.
• Remote Troubleshooting: Alfaa UV engineers can diagnose and troubleshoot issues remotely, reducing downtime and operational costs.
• Record Keeping: Remote logging maintains a secure and easily accessible database of operational data to demonstrate compliance with regulatory standards.
• Transparency: Sharing performance dashboards with the community and regulatory authorities will build trust and support by demonstrating the effectiveness and safety of the treatment process.
