Applications of UV disinfection

Drinking water systems for Hotels, Schools, Colleges, Canteens, Commercial Buildings, Residential buildings, Individual Bunglows etc. These systems will have a micron pre filtration system followed by Activated Carbon Filtration and finally an UV system.

For use in various industrial process where the presence of harmful bacteria and viruses is not acceptable. Depending on individual industry needs we can provide all the industries with suitable Ultraviolet Disinfection solutions.

High flow to very high flow UV model are available for each and every application.

Good Life Products is proud to say that we make the best UV water disinfection systems for use in Wastewater treatment plants. Due to the various advantages of our Advanced FEP Teflon Tube technology our UV systems give consistent performance with very low maintenance. Today we have the expertise to design UV systems for Wastewater treatment plants that can be fitted on line just before discharge into the environment.

Wastewater disinfection with UV does not have any effect to the Ecosystem of the river or lake into which the wastewater is discharged as there is no residual effect with UV treatment. Chlorination and other forms of chemical disinfection of wastewater have a bad effect to the Ecosystem of the river or lake into which the wastewater is discharged.

All RO membranes are prone to fouling due to the presence of bacteria in the water. Fouling of the RO membrane will not allow the RO system to function and may also lead to frequent replacement of the membranes thus increasing your maintenance costs. Field trials and practical on site testing have proved beyond any doubt that installing a UV disinfection systems before the RO membranes is benifical as well as cost effective.

In swimming pools UV works in two ways. Its primary action is to kill Bacteria, viruses, moulds and their spores, drastically reducing the risk of infection to bathers. UV also has an important secondary action; it initiates photochemical and photo-oxidation reactions which destroy chloramines, the compounds responsible for unpleasant smells in pools.

All Good Life UV systems do not require a wiper cleaning system as the water flows in non fouling Teflon tubes, ensuring optimum performance at all times. Maintenance requirements are minimal, the UV Lamps needing replacement once a year at most - a simple, quick operation carried out by local staff.

ADVANTAGES:

• UV is effective against all micro-organisms
• Provides excellent water quality and a more pleasant bathing environment
• Treats full re-circulating flow
• No chemicals required by UV system
• Can reduce the amount of chlorine by 100% when using UV
• UV is not hazardous

Who wouldn't prefer the option of bathing in a swimming pool, disinfected Without High Doses of Chlorine and systems that produce high levels of Chlorine Gas? In fact UV systems are a standard equipment in all swimming.

Pools in the Western countries. Kindly contact us to know more about the use of our UV systems in your swimming pools.

The use of Ultraviolet disinfection systems in fish farms and hatcheries has lead to the production of healthier and larger fish as well as the possibility of an increase in stock densities without the increased risk of disease.

UV does not change the physical characteristics of the treated water so there are no undesirable side effects such as toxic by-products, pH changes or temperature changes in the water. All microrganisms responsible for fish diseases are treatable using a Goodlife UV disinfection system. Some major fish disease causing microorganisms are:-

• Infectious Salmon Anaemia (ISA)
• Viral haemorrhagic septicaemia (VHS)
• Infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN)
• Coliform bacteria
• Saprolegenia (fungal disease)
• Ichtyophthirius (white spot disease)
• Faecal streptococci

In large aquariums containing expensive stocks of fish, it is very important to use a UV system to keep the fish healthy and safeguard from the disease causing germs. UV for fish ponds is an absolute must to keep in control the algae growth.

Cooling towers utilize large quantities of water. Since the surface area is large, the dangers and scope of microbial contamination is also large. Besides algae, bacteria such as the Legionella species pose a serious concern and risk to industrial plants and buildings featuring cooling towers. Yet another major problem is that the massive heat transfer surfaces of the cooling towers and chiller loops become vulnerable to corrosion caused by bacteria and algae proliferating on these surfaces, thereby gradually decreasing the heat transfer efficiencies. Such losses in heat transfer efficiencies exact a price toll on the facility by way of greater operating costs as well as diminished manufacturing efficiencies. Ultraviolet (UV) light, which is a proven technology for drinking water, can be applied to the treatment of cooling tower water. As with drinking water, cooling tower water enters the UV system where it is exposed to high doses of UV light. The UV lamps produce light in the 254 nm wavelength. At this wavelength, UV light targets the microorganisms’ DNA. Exposure to the light scrambles the DNA and prevents the microorganisms from reproducing.

Disinfection of water using ultraviolet light (UV) is a proven technology. This safe and effective physical disinfectant is suitable for both large and small applications.

A few customary applications that use water as part of its manufacturing process are detailed below:

• Food processing
• Bottled water & Soft Drinks
• Brewing
• Distilling
• Drinking water
• Pharmaceutical
• Water based chemicals, paints etc.
  

UV is used in the method of growing plants (e.g. tomatoes) in gravel or soil through which water containing the necessary nutrients is pumped. Without the use of UV, microorganisms may attack the plants and prevent a good harvest. Goodlife UV has been successfully used in
