Reliable UV Solutions for Chlorine and Chloramine Removal<\/h2><\/div>

Chlorine & Chloramine Destruction<\/h3>\n

Chlorine is commonly used for the treatment of drinking water, process water, and aquatic applications. However, in many industries and processes, chlorine is unwanted due to contamination issues and other associated chemical reactions. It can negatively impact the taste, odour, and performance of manufactured products in the food & beverage and pharmaceutical industries. It can also cause damage to sensitive water treatment infrastructure and equipment such as RO membranes. In these instances, a process for chlorine destruction with UV is required.<\/p>\n

When free chlorine reacts with organic matter in water, new chemical compounds called chloramines are formed. These pose health risks and can be damaging to building infrastructure. Chloramines are a common problem in swimming pools, where the notorious and unpleasant \u201cswimming pool\u201d smell is caused by them. They have been linked to health problems such as eye and skin irritations and asthma. The corrosive nature of chloramines also poses a risk for swimming pool infrastructure and HVAC systems. A specialised process for chloramine destruction with UV offers a clean, effective solution. Our systems, including models like the MPX-Series<\/a> and S-Series<\/a>, can be a great fit for these applications.<\/p>\n

How it works<\/h2>\n

UV treatment has proven performance for both chlorine destruction and chloramine destruction with UV. UV radiation removes chlorine and destroys chloramines through a process called photodegradation or photolysis. Both Low Pressure UV lamps and Medium Pressure (polychromatic) UV lamps have been shown to be effective. The process is fast and on-demand, breaking the chemical bonds of the chlorine and chloramine compounds with UV light. This is a specialist process, and every application must be discussed prior to any solution being recommended.<\/p>\n
