UV light is a common & non-toxic way to disinfect treated wastewater
WHAT IS UV LIGHT?
Ultraviolet (UV) light is a type of electromagnetic radiation that is invisible to the human eye
UV lies between X-rays and visible light on the electromagnetic spectrum:
GERMICIDAL PROPERTIES
![]() |
| UV lamps instantly neutralize microorganisms in treated wastewater |
A unique characteristic of UV is that a specific range wavelengths are classified as germicidal - meaning they can render microorganisms (ie bacteria & viruses) as inactive & incapable of reproducing or infecting
BENEFITS OF UV
Ultraviolet is a cost-effective alternative to chemical disinfection (ie chlorine) - plus UV is also non-toxic to the environment & generates no by-products
WHEN TO DISINFECT
UV disinfection is commonly recommended for wastewater systems that are close to water or near environmentally sensitive areas
AQUAKLEAR CASE STUDY
