UV
SURFACE DISINFECTION
   
Disinfection
with UV surface irradiation is rapidly becoming a viable and
cost effective alternative to traditional chemical methods.
Due to advancements in equipment and measurement technology,
UV surface disinfection has developed into a reliable micro-organism
reduction method that routinely delivers consistent, repeatable
results.
EQUIPMENT
UV
Doctor utilizes the most advanced state of the art Ultraviolet
light generators.
Our units feature instant strike lamps and are at full power
within seconds.
The lamps feature an unconditional 5000 hour guarantee for
UVC output >70% of new.
VALIDATION
UV
Doctor can provide you with Ultraviolet light measurement
devices that are completely documented and traceable to National
Institute of Standards Technology. (N.I.S.T.)
UV output measurements are documented along with a Bioassay
to confirm
results.
APPLICATION
In
order to provide an accurate solution to any one particular
application, a few factors need to be taken into consideration
before sizing and selecting the type of UV equipment.
-
Identification of the problem micro-organism(s) and required
reduction of the bioburden be achieved. (Generally 5 log
reduction or 99.999% E.coli)
- Description
of material or device including the design and composition.
- The
production or throughput speed required or desired.
- Is
the movement of the product continuous or indexed?
- Available
space to place the UV equipment. (Usually on the existing
conveyor)
Once
these critical items are addressed, UV Doctor can construct
a system for you.
WATER
& LIQUIDS
UV
Doctor offers water disinfection systems
which are presented here in the industrial size medium length
lamp with a horizontal configuration. These systems are measured
by gallons per minute (GPM) flow rates. These systems can
be used in small to medium industrial or commercial applications
such as hospitals, laboratories, beverage bottling, food processing,
semiconductor, electronics and aquaculture.
It
is important to know the quality, the temperature, and the
clarity (turbidity) of the water in order to properly calculate
the dose needed to ensure the efficiency of the system. It
may be necessary to pre-treat the water before the UV application
with other systems such as carbon filtration, reverse osmosis
or water softeners. These filtering systems can be supplied
by UV Doctor upon request.
