Complex water treatment: PURION UV system combined with water filters

Komplexe Wasseraufbereitung: PURION UV-Anlage kombiniert mit Wasserfiltern

Complex water treatment is a crucial process to ensure that the water we use daily is provided at its highest quality. Water is an essential resource, but in its natural form, it often contains impurities and microorganisms that make it unsuitable for certain applications. To optimally treat drinking water, process water, or water for industrial applications, specialized systems are required. A key role is played by the PURION UV system, which ensures effective disinfection and can be integrated into a comprehensive water treatment chain.


The importance of UV disinfection in water treatment

The PURION UV system is one of the most effective methods for disinfecting water. It uses ultraviolet light in the UV-C spectrum to destroy the DNA of microorganisms, rendering them harmless. This is particularly important in areas where the highest water purity is required, such as in food production, hospitals, or private households that rely on clean drinking water.


Functionality of UV-C disinfection

UV-C light works by breaking down the DNA structures of bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms, preventing them from reproducing. A major advantage of this method is that it is chemical-free, meaning no residues remain in the water. Unlike chemical disinfectants like chlorine, which also kill microorganisms, UV-C leaves no potentially harmful byproducts. This makes UV-C disinfection a particularly environmentally friendly solution.


The role of water filters in complex water treatment

While UV-C disinfection is effective in combating microorganisms, it is only one piece of the puzzle of complex water treatment. To ensure that the water is free from all types of impurities, various filtration stages must be employed. These filters are specifically designed to remove different types of impurities from the water before it reaches the UV system.


Suspended particle filters: First line of defense

The 60 Micron suspended particle pre-filter is the first step in the water treatment chain. It serves to remove larger particles and suspended solids from the water that could impair the efficiency of subsequent filtration systems. This first filtration stage is particularly important to extend the lifespan of the finer working filters and prevent blockages.


Activated carbon filters: Fine filtration and odor removal

The Activated carbon pre-filter With a pore size of 5 microns, the next task is undertaken. Activated carbon is known for its ability to remove fine particles, chemicals, odors, and tastes from water. This is achieved through a process of adsorption, where pollutants adhere to the porous surface of the activated carbon. This filtration stage is crucial to further purify the water before disinfection and ensure optimal water quality.


Additional Filters for Special Needs

In complex water treatment, there are situations where special filters are needed to solve specific problems. Depending on the characteristics of the raw water, the following filters may be useful:

  • 25 Micron Filter: This filter is particularly useful when the water is very turbid and finer filtration is required. It helps remove smaller suspended particles that the first filter may not have fully captured.

  • Iron Removal Prefilter: In areas where the water contains high amounts of iron and manganese, this filter is essential. It not only improves water quality but also protects the UV-C unit from contaminants that could impair its efficiency.

  • Descaling Filter: Hard water can not only affect the taste and quality of the water but also shorten the lifespan of household appliances. The descaling filter reduces the lime content in the water, thus protecting devices like kettles, washing machines, and dishwashers.

  • Denitrification Filter: In agriculturally influenced regions, high nitrate concentrations in the water can be a problem. The denitrification filter effectively reduces these concentrations, ensuring that the water can be consumed safely and without concern.

Integration and Application of Filter Systems

The correct selection and combination of these filter systems are crucial to ensure complete and complex water treatment. The filter systems must be installed in the correct order to achieve maximum efficiency:

  1. Suspended Particle Filter: Removes large particles and protects the subsequent filters.
  2. Activated Carbon Filter: Provides finer filtration and removes odors and chemical contaminants.
  3. Special Filters: Depending on the need, such as iron removal, descaling, or denitrification, specific filters are integrated into the chain.
  4. UV-C Disinfection: As the final step, the UV-C unit ensures the killing of microorganisms and ensures that the water is microbiologically safe.

Advantages of Complex Water Treatment with PURION

The combination of UV-C disinfection and high-quality water filters offers numerous advantages:

  • Highest Water Quality: Through multi-stage filtration and disinfection, an almost complete purification of the water is achieved.
  • Flexibility: The ability to integrate specific filters as needed makes the system adaptable to different water qualities and applications.
  • Sustainability: Avoiding chemical disinfectants protects the environment and ensures healthy drinking water without residues.

Conclusion: Tailored solutions for clean water

Complex water treatment is essential to ensure that water is available in the highest quality. By combining the PURION UV system with a range of specialized water filters, a tailored solution can be created for almost any requirement. These systems provide not only clean but also safe water that meets the highest standards – whether for private use, in industry, or in public facilities.
