Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation is a common way to disinfect drinking water. but some viruses arc very
resistant to UV. UV365 is most effective on disinfecting harmful microorganisms due to its combined treatment of
chlorine/UV. The combined treatment with 0.4 or 0.8 mg CI/L (free Cl-dosage 0.5 or 0.8 mg/L, respectively) followed by
UV irradiation of 40 mWs/cm2 inactivated all caliphages tested by >3.6 Log lo-units. This technology is not to be used in
isolation but must be in conjunction with each Chlorination as primary disinfection. Our technology is significantly different
to any other commercially available m e t h o d s as we propose a synergised system for limiting coliphages by using auto-
chlorination and Chlorine/UV3655 combination.
What do we consider in our solution rovision?
Our solution considers several process variables in arriving at appropriate UV dose to provide the best
Ultraviolet system to suit specific tanks needs, the following variables are required to accurately size a UV system for a
spe• cific application. The following information is assessed prior to installing most effective disinfection system.

• Flow rate into and out of the water tanks.

• Water Source e.g. Borehole Surface Water sub-surface: Please note that as part of the disinfection
solution, we analyse and provide ongoing monitoring of water quality using our T a n k 3 6 5 a n d Water365 solutions.
• UVT (Ultraviolet Transmittance)e.g. 90% UVT
Details of primary disinfection: knowledge about the
Freechlorine via Tank365 system
• Known dose standard for various pathogens e.g. 30 mJ/cm minimum 60 mJ/cm on an average.

UV365 operates with specific wavelength output at 254 nanometres is known as UVC light (germicidal
region). UVC light can inactivate all known microorganisms, bacteria, pathogens, virus and mould, including chemically re•
sistant organisms, such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia. UV dose (fluence) is calculated from intensity (UV Power)
and time (flow rate). O ur kn ow h ow e nc o mpa ss e s ove r 2 50 pa t ho ge n s a nd the in te ns it it e s r e qu ir e d t o

roached in two wa s:
1. To provide a minimum level of UV intensity. This sizing ensures that the UV
intensity at all points with the UV chamber, including the points furthest away from
the UV lamp
(UVC light source) receives a minimum dose set point e.g. 50 • This UV dose is
mJ/cm2
often referred to as wall dose, due to the chamber wall typically being the furthest
point from the UV lamp.

2. An average dose considers the wall dose (furthest distance from the UV lamp) and
the area immediately in front of the UV lamp where the UV output is greatest. Our
sizing method calculates an average dose for the whole UV chamber and appropriate
UV tubes are installed to achieve maximum disinfection.

The most common type of purifier's are Reverse Osmosis (RO) and UV water purifiers. It Is assumed that RO water purifiers are better than the UV~
purifiers. RO gives high level of purification while the UV purifier are combined with various forms of filtration as UV light can kiUbacteria·and viruses.

The big question is, how ~~sea water purifier?· Well, it should depend on the drinking wat:r of ;';ur locality. If the water has more Ions, then you
should buy a RO.'A Kent RO is noise freeand has inbuilt Total Dissolved Salt (TDS) control and if the minerals are low then you can opt for a UV
purifier.

the osmosis technology. Impurities like dissolved solids in water are
removed. But there are less chances of reducing invisible bacteria when
compared to UV water purifier.
How does it work?
The RO purifier has a membrane that filters the dissolved solids and
invisibles particles like bacteria. It can reduce the germs in the water
and Is therefore a water cleansing process. With this purifier, filtering of
chemicals and microbes protect health of every family member, as
children are more prone to get infected to foreign particles.
The RO system moves the molecules from a region of higher solute
concen• tration to lower solute concentration by using the pressure
of incoming water across the membrane and leaving the Impurities
behind.
These system work with UV rays where the germs and microbes are
destroyed with the help of UV rays after the RO stage and gives pure
and healthy water. This system can kill harmful contaminants and can
be combined with other forms of filtration by reducing chlorine.
How does it work?
The UV water purifier makes water borne diseases inactive by
exposing them to UV rays. It uses a UV light source which is
mounted in such a manner that when water passes through in a flow
is exposed to UV rays, penetrate the cells of bacteria and destroy their
ability to reproduce.
The germs are destroyed with UV rays after the RO stage and gives
pure drinking water.

Osmosis allows the water molecules to flow across a

semipermeable membrane from a low solute concentration to high
solute concentration.

As mentioned, that RO works the reverse of osmosis, so it moves the

water molecules from high concentration to low concentration with the
pressure of incoming water that push across the membrane. The left
out water and particles are discharged through other outlet.
