UV disinfection system applied for drinking borehole water treatment

The borehole water purification process is based on a totally physical principle. In other words, it destroys disease-causing microorganisms.

This treatment uses the germicidal effect of UV-C rays to eliminate microbes, viruses, bacteria, fungi and algae, while respecting the environment.

  • germs
  • virus
  • bacteria
  • mushrooms
  • seaweed

It is effective even for water recovered from deep wells such as boreholes

If you’d like to equip yourself with an efficient disinfection system for drinking borehole water treatment , our full range of UV reactors for Water for Human Consumption / Sterilization can be consulted online, and design can be carried out on this page.

UV disinfection applied to drinking borehole water treatment

Disinfection system benefits

In addition, producing healthy water, without any risk of contamination by microorganisms, UV water treatment is also part of an environmental approach:

  • For your health, water treatment without the addition of harmful pool products guarantees allergy- and respiratory-risk-free swimming (non-chemical).
  • It also provides additional value for the environment, ensuring crystal-clear, odor-free water.
  • The absence of chlorine makes for a safe, environmentally-friendly process.
  • UV treatment represents cost savings, thanks to extended plant lifetimes and simple, reliable, long-lasting equipment.
  • Last but not least, the system can be installed and maintained quickly and easily.

Design advice: UV disinfection applied to drinking borehole water trearment purification

On the page dedicted toUV reactors for Water for human consumption / Sterilization, you’ll find a wide range of solutions (up to a unit flow rate of 130 m3/h). If your flow rate exceeds 130 m³/h, please ask us!

  • Select “Water for human consumption / Sterilization
  • Select the water source to be processed, e.g. “drinking borehole water treatment”.
  • 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 so that we can send you the design right away.

In any case, to ensure optimal disinfection and to determine whether prefilters are necessary, it is recommended that a source water analysis be performed with these parameters:

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