UV Disinfection

What is UV disinfection?

Disinfection generally means a reduction of around 99.999% of the pathogens present in the water. A dosage level of 400 J/m² is required to achieve this level of disinfection. The operational settings of the Bewades systems are calculated using numerical computer simulation, guaranteeing a UV dosage of at least 400 J/m². This dosage level has been biodosimetrically proved in the ‘N’ range systems and certified in accordance with ÖNORM M5873-1.

The number of UV disinfection systems installed is growing steadily and this ecologically-sound process is being used in an increasing range of applications owing to its extensive functionality and ease of use.
