Ultra Violet Light Disinfects
Ultraviolet light, at the germicidal wavelength of 253.7 nanometers, alters the genetic (DNA) material in cells so that bacteria, virues, molds, algae and other microorganisms fail to reproduce. These microorganisms are then considered dead and the risk of disease from them is eliminated.

Water flows past the UV lamps
in UV disinfection systems. Any microorganisms it contains are exposed to a lethal dose of UV energy. UV dose is measured as the product of UV light intensity times the exposure time within the UV lamp array. Microbiologists have determined the efective dose of UV energy (expressed in microwatt-seconds/cm2) needed to destroy pathogens as well as indicator organisms found in wastewater.

The Ultraviolet Disinfection Systems has several advantages:
- Enviromentally friendly;no chemicals involved.
- Greater safety for operators.
- Greater effectiveness on a wide range of pathogens.
- Rapid treatment times, less than 10 seconds.
- Lowest operating cost of any disinfection process.
- Simple operation.
- Minimal system maintenance requirements.




WEDECO manufactures a complete line of point of entry (POE) ultraviolet disinfection systems for residential and commercial applications.

UV is the Right Choice
Used properly, ultraviolet destroys bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms in water and wastewater, without the use of chemicals. Without chemical treatment, a host of other problems are also eliminated . UV is operator safe water purification that significantly reduces costly liability insurance premiums.
