Ultraviolet (UV) Sterilization Systems
UV sterilization technology is highly effective at neutralizing microorganisms and organic contaminants. 254 nm UV light specifically targets bacteria and other microorganisms by disrupting their DNA, which prevents them from reproducing and effectively inactivates them. Meanwhile, 185 nm UV oxidation systems work by breaking down organic compounds, which helps reduce Total Organic Carbon (TOC) levels in water. Together, these processes ensure that water systems remain free from biological growth and organic impurities without the need for additional chemicals.
CED provides engineered ultraviolet (UV) water treatment solutions designed to improve water quality and protect high-purity water systems through advanced oxidation and microbial control. UV technology is commonly integrated into laboratory, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, healthcare, semiconductor, and industrial water systems to reduce organic contaminants and control microbial growth without adding chemicals to the water stream.
CED designs UV systems utilizing specific wavelengths based on the application requirements. 185 nm UV oxidation systems are used to break down and reduce organic compounds, helping lower Total Organic Carbon (TOC) levels in high-purity water applications. 254 nm UV sterilization systems are used for microbial control by disrupting the DNA of bacteria and microorganisms, preventing their ability to reproduce and improving overall water quality.
Proper UV system sizing is critical to achieving the required performance. CED engineers each system based on application requirements including flow rate, UV dose, water quality, required reduction levels, number of passes through the UV chamber, and facility operating conditions. By selecting the appropriate UV technology, chamber size, lamp configuration, and monitoring capabilities, CED ensures reliable performance for critical water purification and distribution systems.
CED provides complete lifecycle support for UV systems, including system design, installation, lamp replacement, preventative maintenance, performance verification, and technical service to support reliable operation in demanding high-purity water applications.
