UV disinfection systems
UV light can efficiently reduce microbiological growth in water. UV radiation with a wavelength of 254 nanometers kills bacteria, viruses, algae, and fungi by destroying the DNA of the microorganisms. Disinfection with UV light can be used for nearly all water types without leaving by-products or affecting the taste and quality of the water.
Cooperation with Wedeco
The UV systems are developed and produced by German Wedeco, which is one of the world's leading manufacturers of high-quality UV disinfection systems. We have cooperated with Wedeco since 1995 and built up a great expertise in UV for water treatment solutions.
Why choose Wedeco UV + EUROWATER
Low-pressure UV lamps - an energy efficient solution
With low-pressure UV lamps, excellent energy efficiency is achieved under all operating conditions, which also provides you with several operating benefits.

UV as part of your operation or contingency plan
UV disinfection provides maximum operational reliability so the supply of water in the right quality can be maintained. The UV plant can be in permanent operation or commissioned periodically.
Permanent operation
Fixed system
UV systems can prevent any microbiological contamination from having effect on water quality or water supply. As a preventive solution, the plant will be in permanent operation as a hygiene barrier.
Periodic use
Fixed system
In the events of operational maintenance of the water treatment plant such as cleaning, installation of plants or filling of filter media, the UV system is put into operation to maintain security of water supply.
Urgent use
Mobile system
In case of immediate microbiological contamination of water supply, temporary application of UV can sustain the operation. At EUROWATER, we offer rental of UV systems with fast delivery and easy start-up.
Certified UV systems
We offer both certified and non-certified UV systems.
For the certified, it is documented by test that the required minimum dose is achieved. This ensures a high level of operational reliability and the best documentation in relation to authorities and consumers.
In some countries the use of UV systems requires approval from the authorities. Please contact your local EUROWATER office to learn more.
German
certification
Recertification every 5 years
Documents that the product meets the strict requirements of the German market. The standard is also widely used in the rest of European countries.
Austrian
certification
Recertification every 3 years
Standard developed for the Austrian market. The standard also applies in other countries, but to a lesser extent.
United States
Validation Protocol
Documented by 3rd party using "Letter of validation".
Standard developed for the US market and issued by the US EPA. The standard is globally recognized, and is often used in Europe on larger plants.
Product overview
The product range comprises several systems for disinfection of both drinking water and process water. Flow rates of standard are up to 6.000 m³/h. and the systems come with standard documentation for easy installation, operation, and maintenance.
System design
The UV systems uses Wedeco Ecoray® high-performance, low- pressure UV lamps with increased energy efficiency. Selected systems are equipped with OptiDose control which ensures that the energy level adapts to the current flow, conserving up to 50 % energy.
Automatic wiper system (optional) prevents the formation of organic and inorganic deposits on the protective quartz tubes. All sensor signals are available the standardized and user-friendly Wedeco EcoTouch controller. SCADA connectivity is possible with network / bus communication.

Option
Frame-mounted
All UV systems can be delivered frame-mounted - ready for use!
The plant is complete with internal pipes and electrical connections for efficient installation on-site.
Thus, a frame-mounted solution requires fewer man-hours during installation. Contact us to hear more.
Option
Automatic wiper system
Wedeco's wiper system is fully automatic and chemical-free. The automatic wiper system prevents the formation of both organic and inorganic deposits on the protective quartz tubes.
As a result, the continual manual cleaning using chemical cleaning agents will hardly be required.
Operation of the wiper system is independent of whether the UV system is in standby or in operation. The system has built-in fault monitoring and can be retrofitted to existing Wedeco UV systems.
Option
OptiDetect® - quartz sleeve breakage detection
OptiDetect® is a patented detection system which in less than 1 sec. notifies you and activates a pressure switch if cracks or breaks occur inside the UV reactor.
The quarts sleeves is monitored by a separate control loop independent from the UV system’s electrical cabinet. This allows for the reactor to be completely shut down or for maintenance work to be done on the electrical cabinets, and still keep the system protected.
Control with EcoTouch screen
All UV systems are equipped the user-friendly WEDECO EcoTouch screen. It unifies all sensor signals and provides easy access to troubleshooting and information about the condition of the system.
The control is prepared for connection to SCADA systems with bus/network communication. By default, communication cards can be selected via Modbus TCP, Profibus DP and Ethernet IP.
