DRINKING WATER

Domestic Drinking Water

The BIO-UV reactors in the UV HOME and IBP ranges are used to :

• make raw water coming from local resources drinkable (tanks, boreholes, catchments etc.)
  
• make water in the system safe to drink, particularly after dechlorination using active charcoal
• make recycled rainwater safe for domestic use

Technical advantages

• Excellent disinfecting performance by optimization of UV emissions
• Compact reactors, easy to install
• Use of single-base lamps, patented sealing system and vertical design for an easy maintenance
• Optional UV sensor and monitor offering data reporting by a diode and contact type alarm
• Lamp life optimized: 13 000 hours depending on the number of switchings on

Applications

The BIO-UV reactors in the IAM range have been developed to meet the most stringent requirements for the production of drinking water.

They can be used to disinfect raw water (from wells, catchment systems etc.) and guarantee that water bacteriological quality limits are met  before distribution in public drinking water systems.

They can also be used in pre-treatment, either to reduce the use of oxidizing biocidal agents and, therefore, the by-products of oxidation, or to treat specific micro-organisms (particularly Cryptosporidium and Giardia).

Technical advantages

• High quality of manufacture and high disinfecting performance
• Use of amalgam low pressure lamps to achieve required performance levels irrespective of the temperature of the water (particularly cold mountain water)
• Dedicated electronic ballasts guaranteeing maximum lamp UV efficiency and integrated control
• UV monitoring sensor complying with German standard DVGW W 294 providing correct continuous operation of the reactor
• LCD display of UV intensity, remote management via a 4-20mA output
• Personalization of reactors  according to the installation, operation and maintenance constraints (diameter of flanges, inlet/outlet positioning, vertical/horizontal reactor, etc.)
• Single-base lamps and patented sealing system for an easy maintenance
• Option: manual or automatic quartz cleaning system, without dismantling
