Ultra Violet Clarifiers |
|
A UV Sterilizer/Clarifier eliminates green water,
creating beneficial pond conditions for fish and plants. The
ultra-violet light destroys algae and prevents single-cell algae’s
ability to reproduce. They ensure crystal clear water, eliminate the
need for chemicals and takes an environmentally friendly approach to
the control of green water.
What Is UV?
Ultraviolet light is a spectrum of light just below the
range of visible to the human eye (as shown at right). UV light is
divided into four distinct spectral areas with UV-C being (250-280
nm) the most lethal range to living microorganisms. UV-C is capable
of altering the DNA of living organisms and rendering them unable
to reproduce.
UV-C
light, when applied properly as a problematic waterborne algae
solution, is far superior to ozone and harmful algaecides. Most
importantly UV does not leave a residual in the water. |

The "Required Microorganism UV Dose" bar graph below reveals
specific microorganisms and their established UV doses required to
achieve successful UV treatment. The speed at which the waterborne
microorganisms travels through the UV housing (across the UV lamp
field) establishes the UV dose (µWs/cm²) received. |

|
Limitations: UV Sterilization treatment takes place
inside the UV exposure housing. Exposure time between the waterborne
microorganism and the UV-C light is critical in achieving successful
UV disinfection. The condition of the application’s water will
determine how well the UV-C light penetrates through it (UV
transmittance). UV-C is absorbed by the targeted microorganism or by
other organic waterborne particles. It is for this reason that UV
equipment should be positioned after the mechanical filter. |
