UV disinfection system for drinking rainwater treatment
The drinking rainwater treatment is based on a physical principle that destroys disease-causing microorganisms. This treatment is based on the germicidal effect of UV-C rays, which eliminate :
- microbes
- virus
- bacteria
- mushrooms
- seaweed
This system respect totally environment and efficient for rainwater.
The advantages of such a drinking water treatment process are :
- Ecological
- natural
- Respectful of people and the environment.
What’s more, its reliability and safety of use meet the most stringent standards for water intended for human consumption (according to the French Ministry of Health circular of January 19, 1987). Maintenance costs are low.
Last but not least, rainwater treatment has no side effects. In other words, we have preserved the mineral content and no chemical residues are generated.
If you’d like to equip yourself with an efficient disinfection system for drinking rainwater 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.
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 rainwater treatment
On the page dedicated to UV reactors for water for human consumption / Sterilization,we offer 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 ” Drinking water / Sterilization “.
- Select the water source to be processed, e.g., “Rainwater processing”.
- 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 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
