Water purification systems purify water by removing pollutants, excess minerals, organic substances, and microorganisms. Ultraviolet disinfection systems are one of the most critical technologies in water purification systems. One of the most essential stages in water treatment systems is the removal of bacteria, microorganisms, fungi, and viruses from water. Ultraviolet disinfection is one of the fastest and most effective methods to prevent DNA degradation and reproduction of microbes.
The ultraviolet disinfection method involves cleaning by applying UV light with an ultraviolet lamp placed in a tube-like glass case. This method does not use any chemicals or oxidants. Since the purification process is carried out without damaging the physical and chemical structure of the water, the use of clean and safe water is long-lasting.
Besides UV rays, microbes can also be neutralized with ozone and chlorine. Ozone, as a powerful oxidizing agent, neutralizes harmful microorganisms. It also cleans water and removes bad odors. The ozone disinfection system used in the final stage of purified water helps to remove turbidity, organic and inorganic microorganisms in the water. One of the methods used for disinfection is the chlorine dosage disinfection method, in which chlorine is dosed for disinfection.
Usage Areas of Ultraviolet Disinfection Systems
It is a preferred cleaning method in many areas as water is purified only with UV rays without causing any deterioration in the taste or chemical structure of the water. Many parameters, such as the characteristics of the usage area, area, and water flow rate, are effective in designing and projecting the UV disinfection device.

Water is essential for human health. Unclean water has a significant impact on the rapid spread of many diseases. Using Ultraviolet Disinfection systems reduces the risk of disease transmission. UV rays are used in this process. Since no chemicals are used, it is one of the most environmentally friendly methods. At a rate of 99%, unwanted microbes such as fungi, viruses, microorganisms, and bacteria are destroyed and prevented from reproducing. One of the most essential stages of water purification systems is that the taste of the water does not change while it is cleaned. Thanks to UV rays, high-capacity water production can be achieved in a very short time. Removing viruses, bacteria, fungi, and microorganisms in the water used for clean and safe water is one of the most important stages of water purification.
Thanks to Ultraviolet Disinfection systems, the DNA of these unwanted microscopic creatures is damaged, and their reproduction is prevented. It is essential to use it wherever water consumption is high to avoid the decrease of our natural resources due to the increase in population and industrialization in the world. It is a method without side effects, as there is no need to use chemicals to clean the content. Thanks to UV rays, disinfection is carried out quickly and effectively.
Industrial water purification systems are technological devices designed to improve the quality of water used in many industrial areas and to optimize production processes. A high degree of water purification is significant in the industry for both health and quality production and for the long life of the devices used in production. The most effective method in industrial water treatment systems to neutralize the DNA of microorganisms, bacteria, and viruses is the ultraviolet disinfection method. Regardless of the sector, using water purification systems provides many advantages. UV Disinfection devices also contribute to operating costs and our natural resources by physically, chemically, and biologically cleaning water content.
Our natural resources are exhaustible. There is a lot of consumption in the industry. Consumed wastewater contains many pollutants. While pure water is obtained through the purification process, it is also essential to ensure environmental sustainability by recycling wastewater. Water purification systems are one of the most critical devices in the industry to purify wastewater and make it reusable.
Moreover, water consumption is prevented. In addition, economic benefits are provided to businesses by recovering energy. The industry needs to design water purification systems with suitable systems specific to the company to recycle every drop used, reduce bills, lead a healthy life, and ensure quality production. One of these systems is Ultraviolet Disinfection technology.
Agricultural activities have an essential place in every country's economy. Agriculture is one of the areas with the highest irrigation and wastewater consumption. Water treatment systems are critical systems in water management for sustainable water management in agricultural activities, protection of natural resources, use of reliable, quality, and hygienic water, and recycling of wastewater. Therefore, UV disinfection technologies are important in the agricultural sector to neutralize the DNA of microorganisms, bacteria, and viruses. Since the cleaning process is carried out without chemicals, it plays a significant role in obtaining healthy products. Its contribution to obtaining good quality fertilizer is immeasurable.
Disinfection systems used in healthcare institutions play a vital role in preventing the spread of disease and ensuring product safety. Properly implementing these systems increases the reliability of healthcare providers and product manufacturers. They are indispensable for controlling microorganisms and chemical waste in the medical sector and living spaces. It is also used for air sterilization in surgical rooms and laboratories. This prevents the spread of microorganisms through the air and ensures a sterile working environment.
Working Principle and Features of Ultraviolet Sterilization Systems
The ultraviolet disinfection system, which destroys 99% of microorganisms, bacteria, and viruses with ultraviolet-C (UV-C) rays, is easy to install and use.
The ultraviolet lamp placed inside a tube-like glass case gives UV-C rays to the water entering the system. The genetic structures of harmful microscopic creatures in water are disrupted by light solid energy with a wavelength of 254 nm and are rendered unable to reproduce. Microscopic creatures are destroyed without damaging the physical and chemical structure of the water. Sterilization is achieved, and microbiological proliferation is prevented.
For UV rays to be effective, the filtering of clay, lime, particles, and solids must be completed beforehand. After this filtering is done before the sterilization process, microscopic creatures must be destroyed. Thus, UV systems have a more significant effect on purified water.
The ultraviolet lamp cover is made of quartz glass. It is used with a special quartz sheath that transmits the rays at the highest rate. Thus, the ray tubes are isolated from water. It is one of the water purification technologies produced in the fluorescent type filled with mercury vapor.
UV rays do not come into direct contact with the eyes or skin. For this purpose, precautions are taken with the outer sleeve made of stainless steel. With this feature, its side effects in food production are prevented.
Ultraviolet disinfection systems are designed according to the water capacity to be obtained in the enterprise. There is a close relationship between the maximum flow rate of the water to be cleaned and the lamp's power. Choosing a UV system with a flow capacity suitable for the area of use is necessary. The disinfection effect of these lamps is approximately 8000-9000 hours.
