UV Lamp

Ultraviolet (UV) lamps are primarily used in water treatment for disinfection and sterilization. They achieve this by damaging the DNA or RNA of microorganisms, thereby inactivating pathogenic microbes. UV lamps in water treatment are mainly applied using two methods: immersion and flow-through. Immersion involves placing the UV lamp directly into the water, suitable for static or dynamic water bodies; while flow-through involves placing the UV lamp in a sleeve, with water flowing around the sleeve for disinfection and sterilization.

Introduction

UV lamps are primarily used in water treatment for disinfection and sterilization, achieving inactivation of pathogenic microorganisms by damaging their DNA or RNA. UV lamp applications in water treatment mainly include immersion and flow-through methods. Immersion involves placing the UV lamp directly into the water, suitable for static or dynamic water bodies; while the flow-through method involves placing the UV lamp in a sleeve, with water flowing around the outside of the sleeve for disinfection and sterilization.

Working Principle of UV Lamps:

UV lamps utilize specific wavelengths of ultraviolet light (primarily 253.7nm) to eliminate microorganisms in water. These UV lamps are typically made of quartz glass or other UV-transparent glass, generating UV radiation through low-pressure mercury vapor discharge. This radiation can damage the DNA or RNA of bacteria and viruses, preventing them from reproducing normally, thus achieving disinfection and sterilization. 

Application Scenarios of UV Lamps in Water Treatment: 

UV lamps are widely used in various water treatment scenarios, including: 

Municipal water treatment: Ensuring the safety of drinking water. 

Wastewater treatment: Treating industrial wastewater and domestic sewage. 

Drinking water treatment: Improving drinking water hygiene standards. 

Pure water treatment: Ensuring the sterility of pure water. 

Aquaculture water treatment: Ensuring the hygiene of water used in aquaculture.

Advantages of UV Lamps:

Highly effective sterilization: UV light can quickly damage the DNA of microorganisms, achieving highly effective sterilization. 
Environmentally friendly and pollution-free: No chemical agents are used, avoiding secondary pollution. 
Low maintenance cost: The equipment operates stably, and maintenance costs are low.

Disadvantages of UV Lamps:

High water quality requirements: Water clarity affects the penetration of UV light. 
Higher equipment cost: High-intensity UV lamps are more expensive.  
Limited scope of application: May be ineffective against certain specific microorganisms.
