Ultraviolet Disinfection (UV) uses ultraviolet light to deactivate microorganisms like bacteria and viruses in water. Water passes through a chamber with UV lamps emitting germicidal light, disrupting the microorganisms’ DNA or RNA. This process effectively renders them inactive without adding chemicals, making it safe and environmentally friendly. UV disinfection is widely used in various water treatment applications to ensure water safety.

ABCO Water’s Ultraviolet Disinfection (UV) systems are typically used inline to disinfect water or wastewater with low turbidity to achieve effective disinfection. It is often employed as a final step in the water treatment process to provide an additional layer of protection against waterborne pathogens and ensure the safety of treated water for consumption or industrial use. UV systems can be either stand-alone or as part of a complete treatment system as pre or post treatment to other technologies.
