INTRODUCTION
In the early 1970's several events caused the U.S. Regulatory
Agencies, Consulting Engineers and Users to pursue alternatives
to chlorine disinfection. It was discovered that some Chlorine
by products were Carcinogenic, and Chlorination was much
less effective in virus destruction than in killing bacteria.
Also significant Chlorine safety problems caused many to seek
an alternative disinfection method. Technically, the simplest
way to disinfect water is to expose it to ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT. THE
LIGHT OF THE SUN.
ULTRAVIOLET is invisible radiation within a range of the solar
spectrum. Such radiations may be divided into two different
bands. |

A) LONG WAVE: or infrared energy such as heat.
B) SHORT WAVE: such as invisible ultraviolet.
Appropriated Ultraviolet wavelength is GERMICIDAL, it destroys
BACTERIA, MOLDS, YEASTS AND VIRUSES INSTANTLY. Disinfection
of water using ultraviolet light (UV) is a proven technology. This
safe and effective physical disinfectant is suitable for both
large and small a pplications.
Ultraviolet light. better known as UV. is one energy region of
the electromagnetic spectrum. In this spectrum UV lies between
visible light and X-rays. |
