Globally, UV disinfection serves as an integral component of drinking water treatment processes, safeguarding individuals across residential, commercial, and public settings—from remote communities and research outposts to sprawling municipalities.
UV disinfection offers distinct advantages over conventional disinfection methods:
Unlike chemical-based approaches, its physical mechanism eliminates the formation of disinfection by-products.
Furthermore, pathogens cannot develop resistance to UV light; it effectively inactivates even chlorine-resistant microorganisms, rendering them unable to reproduce.
Additionally, UV treatment preserves the taste and pH of drinking water without removing beneficial minerals.
UV disinfection has emerged as a tried, tested, and trusted solution for municipal and domestic drinking water treatment globally—encompassing sprawling disinfection systems utilizing over 15,000 UV lamps that serve communities and populations alike.
