UV LED-Based Water Disinfection System
Mon, 12/03/2012 - 3:49pm

Aquionics’ UV-Pearl uses UV-C LED technology, allowing instant full intensity on start-up and mercury-free water treatment. The compact system can operate as a standalone unit or be easily integrated into OEM devices, ultrapure water generators, process water loops, medical sterilization equipment and many other point-of-use applications. The unit uses highly efficient UV LED lamps, which emit waves of light in the deep UV spectral (UV-C) range that destroy microorganisms on a cellular level. The LEDs can be tuned to different wavelengths from 240 to 280 nm, allowing targeting of specific pathogens. The instrument is capable of producing a UV Dose of 60 mJ/cm2 at a flow of 0.5 gpm with only 50 mW of optical power. These results were repeated at two independent laboratories using the Bacteriophage MS2 virus as a subject, and represent a significant improvement from UV-C LED research presented over the last decade. The system is capable of withstanding unlimited cycling without lamp degradation. It is not affected by water temperature and can continue to operate with no flow.
