Improving water safety and quality with UV disinfection
Excelitas UV systems use high-energy ultraviolet (UV) radiation to disinfect water without chemical additives. This energy-efficient, environmentally friendly treatment method inactivates microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and parasites, while also helping break down harmful organic contaminants. Because UV light disrupts microbial DNA, it remains effective against pathogens that are resistant to traditional chemical disinfectants. As a result, UV technology is widely used across water treatment applications, including industrial process water, drinking water, municipal wastewater and sewage treatment, and water treatment systems used in aquaculture, agriculture, and horticulture.
Drinking Water Disinfection
A hygienic, reliable drinking water supply is essential for public health and preventing waterborne diseases. Water treatment systems must effectively control microorganisms while preserving water quality. UV disinfection is widely used to inactivate bacteria, viruses, and parasites without introducing chemicals that alter taste or odor. Excelitas supports municipal and industrial drinking water treatment with long-life UV lamps that ensure consistent performance and reliable system operation.
Process & Ultrapure Water Treatment
Many industrial processes depend on clean, disinfected water for rinsing, cleaning, cooling, and analytical testing. Industries such as food and beverage, cosmetics, chemicals, and semiconductor manufacturing rely on consistent water quality to ensure product integrity and reliable processes. UV treatment is widely used in process and ultrapure water systems to control microorganisms and, in some cases, reduce total organic carbon (TOC) to meet high-purity water standards. Excelitas provides high-performance UV lamps designed to support demanding purity requirements and continuous industrial use.
Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP)
Organic pollutants and microcontaminants, such as pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and certain industrial chemicals, are often found in water systems. Effective treatment technologies are needed to break down these compounds and maintain water quality in critical applications. Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOP) use ozone and ultraviolet (UV) radiation to generate highly reactive hydroxyl radicals that degrade these contaminants. Ozone and UV radiation dissipate quickly after treatment and are undetectable in the water soon after. AOP systems are commonly used for process water, cooling water, and service water, where high purity and reliable contaminant removal are essential. Excelitas provides high-performance UV lamp solutions that maximize contaminant breakdown, minimize by-product formation, and integrate reliably into AOP water treatment systems, delivering consistent, high water quality for demanding oxidation processes.
