Water Purification

For Residential and Industrial drinking water, purification of drinking water by UV light is a well-established technology.

Cost effective waste water treatment UV irradiance is an environmentally responsible and cost-effective way to disinfect public waste water discharges.

Bottle water and soft drinks

In the beverage industry UV is commonly used for disinfection and more recently also for the destruction of contaminants such as chlorine.

Sterile Surfaces

UV Lamps assist in making life more hygienic by providing a safe, simple way to disinfect surfaces. 

Micro-organisms breed on surfaces, creating a potential hazard for products and people.

In the case of food and some other surfaces, conventional disinfectants and heat treatment techniques are simply not practical.

Germicidal lamps help fight infection in the areas of:

• Hospitals (TB)
• Food and beverage industries
• Laboratories
• Pharmaceutical industries
• Packaging

Fish ponds and pools

Germicidal lamps have an increasing role in fish ponds & aquariums.
