LED technology makes UV water treatment more efficientUltraviolet disinfection is a well-established method for achieving adequate disinfection of drinking water. The process is intended to inactivate human pathogens such as viruses, bacteria and protozoa that are potentially present in raw water before receiving proper disinfection. As water passes through the UV unit, an ultraviolet range of light inactivates these human pathogens.
Conventional UV disinfection systems for water treatment use UV mercury lamps. However, Acuva Technologies has now applied the technology to the energy efficiency of LED lighting in its UV-LED water disinfection system. The system, according to Manoj Singh, president and
