Overview
Atlantium technology is transforming the water disinfection landscape with an ultraviolet (UV) based system that reaches levels of disinfection never before attained.

While UV light's natural disinfection properties have been widely recognized and definitely provide an environmentally-friendly non-chemical solution with no disinfection by-products (DBPs), UV reactor manufacturers have struggled to deliver these benefits reliably over time. 

Atlantium's Hydro-Optic Disinfection™ system
Atlantium's revolutionary invention, the Hydro Optic Disinfection™ system overcomes three obstacles encountered in the use of conventional reactors: Performance; reliability; dose management and monitoring.  The system's technology and configuration enable attainment of levels of microbial inactivation not achievable or validated before. Equipped with real-time monitoring and control, its dose delivery is sustained throughout disinfection, as demonstrated by unparalleled results. This has paved the way for use of the Hydro-Optic Disinfection system in a range of applications which previously were considered inappropriate for UV-based disinfection.

Revolutionary system design leads to unparalleled performance

Atlantium was able to able to break the performance barrier by integrating optic and hydraulic principles in unique ways. The core of Atlantium's Hydro-Optic Disinfection system is a large quartz tube that effectively traps UV light rays. Long effective paths of UV light propagation, coupled with carefully designed patterns of water flow within the Hydro-Optic Disinfection chamber ensure that all microorganisms are exposed to the same UV dose, the key to reliable, effective inactivation.  The system's protected disinfection chambers with nothing impeding the flow of water and light contribute as well to achieving high rates of microbial disinfection.
Learn how optic and hydraulic principles work in the Hydro-Optic Disinfection system.

The Hydro-Optic Disinfection system is built to deliver a wide range of doses - from low to very high - achieving microbial inactivation of an extremely broad array of microorganisms, including those that have resisted traditional chemical, thermal and other UV treatments. The control system allows the required dose to be set as well as monitored/tracked, so that it is reliably maintain it as water and flow conditions change.
