Ultra Violet UV Light Sterilization Systems

Ultra Violet UV Light Sterilization Systems

Ultra Violet UV Sterilization is an effective way to treat harmful bacterium. Our Ultra Violet systems use the latest technology to ensure you get the most effective solution to your disinfection needs. Ultra Violet systems are normally used on water where e-coli and coliform are present or have been present in the past. The system is placed in your main water line where a UV bulb is in a clear sleeve. The water then flows by the lamp and the light from the bulb kills the bacteria.

You can find more information on our web, so please take a look.

YOU MUST put a sediment filter of some type BEFORE any UV light. If someone sells you a UV light but does not tell you that you need a sediment filter before it, you should be very wary of doing business with them. Any UV light without a sediment filter in front of it is a misapplication. We normally recommend a 5 micron sediment filter. For your convenience we have all of the UV lights below available with sediment cartridge filters. The ones listed are 5 microns and have large 20" high flow filters inside the canister, which is also included. Be sure to read the information lower on the page about when you can, or can NOT, use a UV light.

Ultra Violet systems are sized based on your flow rate. To determine your proper flow rate, please follow the instructions under item #7 on this page: FAQs

All models feature stainless steel housing, high output Ultra Violet lamps, premium advanced power supply with both visual and audio alarms.

PLEASE NOTE: Even if you have an alarm on a UV system, you should change the bulbs YEARLY, even if the alarm has not sounded. Failure to do so may end up in damage or complete failure of the system. This process should be followed regardless of the company who sell it or what the particular brand might be.

Large Sediment Pre-filters for UV Applications

PLEASE NOTE: Ultra Violet UV Sterilization Systems, regardless of who makes them or what their sales pitch might be, MUST have a sediment cartridge filter in front of the UV Light to protect against shielding from sediment. The following 20" filters will work on high flow or low flow systems. Do not trust anyone who would sell you a UV system without insisting you protect it with a sediment cartridge filter. Even if you have it after a water softener or backwashing filter (Both are misapplications anyway).

BEFORE YOU BUY ANY UV SYSTEM PLEASE READ:

When using a UV light there are many things that can make it the wrong application. In fact, there are very few instances with a private residential well where Ultra Violet UV Sterilization Systems is the right choice. Especially when installed with no pre-treatment. This includes the following:

FILTERS TO HELP PROPER UV SIZING
IRON:

Any measurable amount of iron. Iron can "Shield" the UV light and keep it from killing bacteria. If you use a backwashing iron filter to remove the iron it is still a misapplication because the bacterium could build up or grow in the backwashing filter itself in very large numbers. It would also flush that bacterium down the drain line and could effectively pollute other things or your own ground water system in some cases. It is a bad idea to use UV if you have any measurable amounts of iron in the water. Adding a sediment cartridge filter before the light does not solve this problem.

MANGANESE:

Any measurable amounts of manganese. Manganese can "Shield" the UV light and keep it from killing bacteria. If you use a backwashing manganese filter to remove the the manganese it is still a misapplication because the bacterium could build up or grow in the backwashing filter in very large numbers. It would also flush that bacterium down the drain line and could effectively pollute other things. It is a bad idea to use UV if you have any measurable amounts of manganese in the water. Adding a sediment cartridge filter before the light does not solve this problem.

HARDNESS:

The maximum hardness level acceptable for UV filtration is stated by MOST reputable UV light manufacturers to be 7 GPG or 120 PPM (MG/L). In the interest of caution and safety for our customers, we stop recommending UV lights on hard water at 6 GPG or 102 PPM (MG/L). Sediment cartridge filters and carbon carbon filters DO NOT remove hardness and offer no protection in this regard. BE VERY WARY of companies who use non-backwashing filters. And carbon filters of ANY kind on non-chlorinated wells. It is foolish and irresponsible. Carbon is the number one breeder of bacteria on a private well that is not chlorinated. And if it does not backwash it is much worse!

DIRT and OTHER SEDIMENTS:

ANY amount of unfiltered dirt or sediment can also cause this shielding effect on a UV system. If the only issue you have is common dirt or sediment, it CAN often be removed by a replaceable cartage filter with a 5 micron or less cartridge filter inside. DO NOT use carbon filters in this situation on virtually any well where the water is not chlorinated or disinfected. Of course, if the water is properly chlorinated there is no real need for a UV Light to begin with.

BEWARE of anyone who does not know or explain this shielding effect before you buy. We were the first people in the United States to make this public knowledge in an effort to protect people from ingesting harmful bacterium. E-coli or coliform bacteria is not something anyone wants to get sick from. Over 90% of all UV systems we see in place on private wells have been misapplied. Some companies even put them on wells with large amounts of iron and hardness with no pre-treatment at all. A UV light should almost NEVER be the first thing in line that your water touches. Please feel free to contact a friendly tech at 800-684- to be sure you have it right before you buy anything from anyone.

Therefore, healthcare organizations and hospital administrators are beginning to understand how practical and cost-effective it is to use UV light to clean hospitals with wall-mounted units or mobile UVC disinfection systems. In addition, UVC robots are gaining popularity in hospitals as they move around from room to room, cleaning patients. In bathrooms, wall-mounted devices can be programmed to activate when the door closes.

In hospitals, where people are more likely to get sick, UV disinfection lamps are also used in the heating and cooling systems to clean and disinfect the air. Additionally, MRSA, VRE, K pneumonia, and C difficile are among the superbugs that UV disinfection equipment is known to eradicate. It assists hospitals in reducing the spread of superbugs that remain dormant in hospital rooms and result in fresh illnesses. Hospitals and medical facilities are expected to employ UV disinfection equipment more frequently for various viruses and bacteria due to the predicted increase in hospitalizations by the growing senior population.

Inactivation of Harmful Bacteria in Water

UV sterilization of water has many advantages over other sterilization methods, like chlorination, and can be used for a wide range of water disinfection tasks. UV light has been shown to kill many microorganisms, like bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and even some dangerous pathogens that chlorine cannot kill. UV disinfection water treatment systems eliminate protozoa such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia, which are resistant to chlorine. In addition, UV germicidal disinfection is proven to eradicate these parasites from water supplies and prevent widespread illnesses. 

UV disinfection water treatment systems are found worldwide in many applications, including wastewater treatment plants, water reclamation, drinking water treatment, aquaculture, pool and spa, and ballast water treatment systems. Therefore, more UV disinfection equipment will be required for water and wastewater treatment to meet the growing demand for clean water.

Global UV Disinfection Equipment Market Restraint

Low Cost of Conventional Disinfectants

Traditionally, chlorine gas was the most common method of wastewater disinfection. Chlorine gas is relatively inexpensive, although it is a highly toxic chemical. Shock chlorination is another popular treatment for disinfecting a well. The treatment commonly utilizes a sodium hypochlorite, strong chlorine bleach, solution within the water well and throughout the distribution piping. It improved liquid surface disinfectants that use hydrogen peroxide and a product that combines peracetic acid and hydrogen peroxide is both excellent alternatives to the disinfectants that are most commonly used today. These products are cheaper than UV systems. However, as UV disinfection equipment is gaining recognition as a safer and more cost-effective way to disinfect for commercial, industrial, and municipal applications, the factor is expected to have a low impact on market growth over the forecast period.

Segmental Analysis

The global UV disinfection equipment market is segmented by component, deployment, application, and end-user.

By component, the global market is divided into reactor chambers, UV lamps, quartz sleeves, control units, and others. 

The UV lamp segment is responsible for the largest market share and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 13.20% over the forecast period. UV lamps can clean surfaces without chemicals, which is essential in many sectors. Established water purifier OEMs have relied on low-pressure mercury lamps to provide proven UV disinfection for decades. However, since , the Minamata Convention has been phasing out mercury in everyday products; manufacturing companies are likely to be financially responsible for the disposal costs of mercury used in their products. These potential regulatory barriers, consumer preference for nontoxic products, and the competitive pressure from startups provide a strong impetus for established water purifier OEMs to consider UV-C LEDs. One advantage of LEDs over low-pressure mercury lamps is that they contain no mercury. UV-C LEDs are anticipated to overtake other options as the most widely used technology for sectors that need sterilizing surfaces, air, and water due to their inherent advantages and limitless potential. 

Magnesium, algae, calcium ions, and an iron coating accumulated due to poor equipment maintenance are the usual culprits for quartz sleeve fouling. Quartz sleeves are expected to last up to 8 years but are routinely replaced after five years, driving up demand for the product, according to the US EPA wastewater technology fact page.

By deployment, the global market is segmented into portable, wall-mounted, and others. 

The wall-mounted segment is the highest contributor to the market and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 13.3% over the forecast period. Wall-mounted UV disinfection equipment holds the largest share of the market. Most end-users, such as food and beverage industries, bio-pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries, use wall-mounted UV disinfection equipment for sterilization. In addition, wall-mounted or stationary UV disinfection equipment is used in treating wastewater in the tertiary stage in wastewater disinfection sites to combat the problems of water scarcity and the rising cost of fresh water. Furthermore, wall-mounted UV disinfection equipment is also being deployed in hospitals and several commercial spaces. Recently, a business by the name of UVC Cleaning Systems unveiled wall-mountable stationary UV equipment.

Portable UV-C disinfection is advantageous for any commercial structure, including motels, banks, and offices. They are currently being used by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to maintain the highest level of safety for the transport system. Several businesses produce and market portable UV room disinfection systems, including market leaders Xenex, UVDI, and Spectra254. The majority are made to be rolled into a space, utilized, and then rolled out.

By application, the global market is segmented into water and wastewater disinfection, process water disinfection, air disinfection, surface disinfection, food and beverage disinfection, and others. 

The water and wastewater disinfection segment owns the highest market share and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 13.4% over the forecast period. The market for UV disinfection equipment is also increasing because the government is getting stricter about ensuring that water and wastewater are treated in a way that is safe and good for the environment. Moreover, UV Disinfection equipment does not need to handle potentially dangerous chemicals such as chlorine; it also offers low power consumption and is environmentally friendly. As a result of its benefits and the increasing scarcity of such equipment, the use of UV disinfection equipment in the water and wastewater segments is rapidly increasing. 

Surface disinfection in healthcare facilities, biopharmaceutical industries, and the food and beverage industry is rising owing to the high focus on providing innovative medical-grade air purifiers, such as UV systems. Remarkably, the global health-threatening crisis from the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of ultraviolet (UV) disinfection equipment for contaminated surfaces as the significant media for disease transmission. 

By end-user, the global market is divided into municipal, residential, commercial, and industries. 

The municipal segment is the highest contributor to the market and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 13.2% over the forecast period. The final treatment step in municipal wastewater treatment is the disinfection process. Protecting public health and the environment is essential so that wastewater is cleaned. Since people are becoming more aware of the long-term effects of chemical wastewater disinfection on public health and the environment, the industry has turned to safer alternatives like UV. Furthermore, UV is a reliable, secure, and sustainable method of wastewater disinfection. Due to its capacity to inactivate protozoa that pose a concern to public health, most notably Giardia and Cryptosporidium, UV disinfection offers a significant benefit over chlorine-based disinfection. Moreover, these regulatory drivers accelerated the development and adoption of UV light for wastewater treatment.

In recent years, industrial operations and urbanization in developing countries have resulted in environmental damage because industrial wastewater effluents were improperly or insufficiently handled. All bacteria are, therefore, susceptible to chemical-free UV disinfection, driving up the demand for UV disinfection in the treatment of industrial effluent.
