INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER

INTRODUCTION

UV DISINFECTION AND INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER

Industrial wastewater can be a great source of dangerous contamination. In order to protect the natural environment (rivers, lakes, beaches, coastal areas) increasingly stricter regulations have been implemented to limit the release of pathogenic microorganisms originating from industrial discharge. This has led many large-scale manufacturing facilities to implement UV as part of their wastewater treatment process.

The main reason UV has become a preferred solution compared to its alternatives is that it doesn’t create any chemical by-products. This is exceptionally important as discharge water usually is already filled with toxic chemicals. UV disinfection is also the most effective solution against almost all known pathogenic bacteria and viruses as well as chemically complex compounds.

Utilizing standard UV disinfection or advanced solutions such as AOP, ULTRAAQUA UV also enables companies to re-use their process water, which leads to saved costs and environmental optimization. ULTRAAQUA UV has over 20 years of experience treating discharge and today its UV systems’ portfolio consists of a range of closed vessel and open channel UV systems.

ULTRAAQUA UV also provides de-chlorination, de-ozonation, TOC and AOP disinfection solutions. This enables the company to deliver a range of solutions for diverse infrastructures and applications.
