What is the future of Water Disinfection? UV-LED?

Whether you want to disinfect drinking water or need to outfit a municipal system with equipment that can effectively disinfect the water, there is a range of different technologies that can be used for water disinfection purposes. Among the more modern technologies is ultraviolet disinfection, which can take place with the use of UV LED lamps. Ultraviolet water disinfection systems are combined with light-emitting diodes to strengthen the disinfection properties of the UV system.

There are two different solutions that can be paired with an ultraviolet disinfection system, which include UVC LED reactors and UV lamp reactors. Standard UV lamp reactors are ideal for continuous operation. On the other hand, the potency of UVC LED reactors means that the light input from the device is instantaneous and produces high-intensity results. UVC germicidal irradiation uses very short wavelengths of ultraviolet light to kill pathogens and microorganisms that are found in the water. The effectiveness of this specific technology depends on how long the microorganism is directly exposed to ultraviolet light.

UV LED lamps are the future of water disinfection and are able to provide nearly all of the benefits of other filtration systems without any of the drawbacks. Standard UV lamps are already being adopted at a high rate because of their efficacy in getting rid of pathogens. Once UV LED lamps can be produced for more POE and industrial applications, they can replace standard UV lamps and eliminate the mercury pollution that has been caused by these UV lamps.

At the moment, the primary manufacturers and distributors of UV LED lamps include Pelican Water and Aquasana. These devices can be sourced directly for home use or integration into different appliances. If you want to use one of these systems in your home, they are considered to be a cost-effective solution for water disinfection. Their maintenance requirements are also much less stringent when compared to standard UV lamps, which makes them beneficial for any household.
