Hydro-Optic UV Disinfection:New Concepts in Water Disinfection


General principles of UV operation

Germicidal light spectrum – 200-300nm UV light inactivates cells by damaging their DNA Creates Thymine Dimers Inhibits DNA replication

Pasteurized Equivalent Water

In 2009 FDA has defined on its PMO rule, how to make water treatment with UV:

“Medium pressure UV at 120,000 microwatt-seconds per square centimeter or a 4 log adenovirus equivalent“ along with several other conditions.

Atlantium’s systems comply with all of the terms set by the FDA.

The Only REAL Validated Virus Protection

RNA viruses

19

• Atlantium is the only UV company that validated its system against viruses with live Adenovirus

• 4 Log Adenovirus disinfection can be achieved now • MP are more efficient than LP -

lower dose needed


Low pressure (LP) vs Medium Pressure (MP)

20

Medium pressure UV advantages • Broader wave length• Higher output per lamp (less lamps)• Not sensitive to water temperature • No repair effect of the microbes• Variable output (LP is ON/OFF)

Atlantium’s 10cm High intensity MP lamp

Many long low intensity LP lamps Vs. Fewer Atlantium short high intensity MP lamp

PBG DoMo plant –Moscow

Entire plant complies with No-Chlorine approach obliged in Russia

2 Atlantium systems for disinfection and 2 for Ozone destruction


Membrane Protection


The system disinfects water before going into RO membrane filtration

Membrane protection application reduces biofauling phenomenon and thus decreases pressure on membranes, extends membrane lifetime and reduces energy consumption

Atlantium Disinfection

• Permeate water is going through the Atlantium system for the only water disinfection in the entire recycling process

• After the Atlantium system, water goes back to the plant as CIP water and bottle washing water

• Water recycling yield in the process – 70-80%
