UV water treatment offers an effective and natural disinfection solution. It allows the obtaining of healthy, pure and non-chemical water. This technique is applied for sterilization for industrial process water.

UV Disinfection System Applied to Sterilization for Industrial Process Water

The disinfection of water used in industrial processes is essential and complies with strict standards. This water must be continuously treated and purified to prevent the development of bacteria. UV disinfection is therefore a way to treat process water without the massive use of chemicals. The water quality is satisfactory and the UV lamps used for water treatment are safe. The sterilizers then ensure proper UV treatment and water care.

If you want to equip yourself with an efficient sterilization system for industrial process water, the complete range of UV reactors for water for human consumption / Sterilization can be viewed online, and the sizing can be done on this page.

Disinfection system benefits

In addition to guaranteeing healthy water free of any risk of contamination by microorganisms, UV treatment of water is also part of an environmental approach:

  • In terms of health, the water treatment, without the addition of harmful pool products, guarantees swimming without the risk of allergies and respiratory diseases (non-chemical)
  • It is also of interest in terms of comfort by ensuring clear, crystal clear and odorless water.
  • The absence of chlorine makes for a safe, environmentally-friendly process.
  • UV treatment makes it possible to achieve real savings thanks to a long service life of the installations and simple, reliable, and long-lasting equipment.
  • Last but not least, the system can be installed and maintained quickly and easily.

Sizing advice: UV disinfection applied to sterilization for industrial process water

On the page dedicated to UV reactors for water for human consumption / Sterilization, many solutions are offered (up to a unit flow rate of 130 m3/h). For higher flow rates, up to 130 m3/h, please contact us!

  • Select “Corrosive/Salt Water”
  • Select the source of water to be drinkable, for example “Thermalism, thalassotherapy, balneotherapy”.
  • Enter the flow rate to be treated (for example 25 m3/h)
  • Adjust the cost of electricity in your country (for example 0.09€ for France; 0.23€ for Germany)
  • Let 30 mJ / cm² (or adapt)
  • Specify the temperature of the water (normally, between 5 and 40°C is sufficient)
  • Please enter your email address, we will send you the design right away

In any case, to ensure optimal disinfection and decide if pre-filters are necessary, it is recommended to carry out an analysis of the water source with these parameters:

  • Iron
  • Hardness
  • Turbidity
  • Manganese
  • Suspended solids (TSS)
  • Transmittance UV

FAQ

Is UV treatment effective against resistant microorganisms such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia?

Yes, UV treatment is particularly effective against resistant microorganisms such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia, which are often insensitive to traditional chemical disinfectants. UV-C rays disrupt the DNA of these protozoa, preventing them from reproducing and causing infections. This effectiveness is recognized by organizations such as the US EPA, which considers UV disinfection to be a reliable method to inactivate these pathogens .

No, UV treatment is a physical process that does not alter the physicochemical properties of the water. Unlike some chemical treatments, it does not change the taste, smell or mineral composition of the water. This makes it an ideal solution for industries where water quality is crucial, such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals or cosmetics .

The maintenance costs of an industrial UV system mainly include the annual replacement of the UV lamps, the price of which usually varies between 100 and 500 euros depending on the power and model. It is also recommended to clean the quartz sleeve regularly to avoid deposits that could reduce the effectiveness of UV radiation. In terms of energy consumption, UV systems are generally energy-efficient, which contributes to moderate operating costs .

UV treatment is highly effective in inactivating a wide range of pathogenic microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses and protozoa. However, it does not remove chemical contaminants, heavy metals, or suspended particles. For complete disinfection, UV treatment is often combined with other methods, such as filtration or reverse osmosis, depending on the specific needs of the industrial application .

The sizing of a UV system depends on several factors, including the flow rate of water to be treated, the quality of the water (turbidity, UV transmittance), and the disinfection objectives. Choosing a suitable UV reactor for your facility’s flow rate is essential to ensure sufficient exposure of microorganisms to UV rays. Online calculation tools or professional advice can help determine the appropriate model for your system .
