ULTRAVIOLET DISINFECTION SYSTEMS

ULTRAVIOLET DISINFECTION SYSTEMS are an effective technology used to neutralize microorganisms in water, air and surfaces. These systems are based on the principle that ultraviolet (UV) light disrupts the DNA and RNA structure of microorganisms and inactivates them. UV-C light exists between 200 and 280 nanometer wavelengths, and the most effective disinfection is provided at this wavelength.UV disinfection systems are used in a wide range of industrial areas, from water treatment plants to food processing plants. Especially recently, it has become popular for improving hygiene standards in places such as hospitals, restaurants, hotels and public transport. This is because UV light is more environmentally friendly and effective compared to the use of chemicals.UV disinfection systems generally consist of three main components: UV lamps, reactor chamber and control systems. UV lamps are special lamps that produce UV-C light. The reactor chamber is the section where water or air is exposed to UV light and disinfection occurs. Control systems regulate the operation of UV lamps and the reactor room.The advantages of these systems include reduced chemical use, no formation of harmful by-products, fast disinfection times and low operating costs. However, because UV light requires direct contact, its effectiveness may vary depending on the smoothness of the surfaces and the spread of light.
