The UV sterilizer utilizes a germicidal fluorescent lamp that produces light at a wavelength of approximately 254 nanometers (2537 Angstroms). The water with the bacteria/algae passes over the bulb (or around the bulb if a quartz sleeve is used) and is irradiated with this wavelength. As the light penetrates the bacteria/algae, it mutates the DNA (genetic material), preventing growth/multiplication of the organism.

Compared with other disinfection forms, UV sterilizer has the following advantages:

Ø  High efficient sterilization: normally kill 99%-99.9% bacteria within 1 to 2 seconds.

Ø  Broad spectrum: UV rays has the broadest spectrum, killing almost all bacteria and virus.

Ø  No secondary pollution: don`t add any chemical agent, it does not create secondary pollution to water and surrounding environment, do not change any ingredients in water.

Ø  Safe and reliable to operate: traditional disinfection technology such as adopt chloride and ozone, the disinfectants themselves are highly toxic and flammable material. While UV sterilizer has no such potential safety hazard.

Ø  Low maintenance fee: UV sterilizer occupies a small area (and have a simple structure requirement, so smaller total investment and lower operation cost are easy to achieve).Its cost only half than chlorine disinfection in kiloton water treatment.
