Controlling Biological Proliferation and Oxidizable Carbon Through Hydroxyl Radical Formation and DNA Disruption with WaterProfessionals Ultraviolet Water Treatment.
Trusted by Thousands Worldwide
Achieving high-purity standards requires more than just filtration; it demands precise management of the biological and organic spectrums downstream of your RO.
WaterProfessionals integrates targeted ultraviolet solutions to address these final variables. We utilize 254 nm arrays to disrupt bacterial DNA via dimer formation, preventing cellular replication, alongside high-energy 185 nm ‘TOC burners’ that generate hydroxyl free radicals to oxidize organic compounds down to <0.5 ppb. Because TOC oxidation produces carbon dioxide and lowers resistivity, we engineer the correct placement of these units within your recirculation loop—typically upstream of final polishing mixed-bed deionizers—to ensure conductivity specs are maintained. From calculating dosage based on lamp intensity and hydraulic exposure time to managing heat dissipation during no-flow events, we specify the exact UV configuration your system requires.
Bacteria is present in virtually all water systems. The complete and consistent elimination of all bacteria is nearly impossible. However, with the use of UV water sterilization, bacteria can be controlled and reduced to a very low level.
Some types of bacteria are health harmless and create no real issues. There are also some types of bacteria that can cause illness, foul odors, slime build-up and obnoxious tastes to water. In the cases of high purity water and ultrapure systems, in particular, keeping a very low level of bacteria is imperative and often required in order to meet water quality specifications (ASTM, MCCLS, CAAP, AAMI).
In order for a UV system to provide proper performance, there has to be sufficient dosage. The dosage is a function of wavelength, intensity and exposure time. Other considerations such as pre-treatment, flow rates and level of contamination, for instance, are all important in getting the desired results.
