Low-Pressure (LP) UV: Emits a single wavelength (253.7 nm). Produces less UV light overall, requiring more lamps in the system for effective coverage. LP Lamps operate at lower temperatures and therefore each LP lamp is more energy-efficient than an MP lamp. Limited versatility in handling a variety of contaminants, as it does not damage microorganisms’
Total Internal Reflection (TIR) is Atlantium’s patented technology that enhances UV disinfection by uniformly distributing light throughout the inactivation zone, effectively concentrating UV energy for optimal microorganism inactivation. At the core of this system is its uniquely designed chamber, made of high-quality quartz surrounded by an air block instead of traditional stainless steel. This innovative
Unlike quartz chamber surrounded by an air block and stainless steel, traditional polished stainless steel chambers do not reflect UV light. Instead, it absorbs UV energy, reducing system efficiency.
The HOD MP UV system effectively removes Free Available Chlorine (FAC) by targeting both forms present in water—hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and hypochlorite ion (OCl⁻), each with unique absorption characteristics. At pH levels below 7, the process will require more UV energy for breakdown. As pH rises, the process will require less UV energy for breakdown.
