Complex water treatment: PURION UV system combined with water filters

Complex water treatment is a crucial process to ensure that the water we use every day is provided at its highest quality. Water is a vital resource, but in its natural form it often contains impurities and microorganisms that make it unsuitable for certain applications. Specialized systems are required to optimally treat drinking water, process water or water for industrial applications. A key role here is played by 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 maximum water purity is required, such as food production, hospitals or private households that rely on clean drinking water.

How UV-C disinfection works

UV-C light works by breaking down the DNA structures of bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms, making them unable to reproduce. A major advantage of this method is that it is chemical-free, which means that no residue remains in the water. Unlike chemical disinfectants such as chlorine, which also kills microorganisms, UV-C leaves no potentially harmful by-products. 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 water treatment. complex water treatment . To ensure that the water is free of all types of contaminants, different stages of filtration must be used. These filters are specially designed to remove different types of impurities from the water before it reaches the UV system.

HEPA filter: first line of defense

The 60 micron HEPA pre-filter is the first step in the water treatment chain. It is used to remove larger particles and suspended matter from the water that could impair the efficiency of subsequent filter systems. This first filter stage is particularly important in order to extend the service life of the finer filters and prevent blockages.

Activated carbon filter: fine filtration and odor removal

The activated charcoal pre-filter with a pore size of 5 microns takes on the next task. Activated carbon is known for its ability to remove fine particles, chemicals, odors and tastes from water. It does this through a process of adsorption, where pollutants stick 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 filters: This filter is particularly useful when the water is very cloudy and finer filtration is required. It helps to remove smaller suspended particles that the first filter may not have fully captured.

• De-icing pre-filter: In areas where the water contains high levels of iron and manganese, this filter is essential. It not only improves the water quality, but also protects the UV-C system from impurities that could impair its efficiency.

• Descaling filter: Water containing limescale can not only affect the taste and quality of water, it can also shorten the life of household appliances. The descaling filter reduces the limescale content in the water and thus protects appliances such as kettles, washing machines and dishwashers.

• Denitrification filter: In agricultural regions, high nitrate concentrations in the water can be a problem. The denitrification filter effectively reduces these concentrations and ensures that the water is safe to consume.

Integration and application of the filter systems

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

1. HEPA filters: Removes large particles and protects the downstream filters.
2. Activated carbon filter: Provides finer filtration and removes odors and chemical contaminants.
3. Special filter: Depending on requirements, such as de-icing, descaling or de-nitrification, specific filters are integrated into the chain.
4. UV-C disinfection: As a final step, the UV-C system ensures the destruction 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: Multi-stage filtration and disinfection achieves almost complete purification of the water.
• Flexibility: The ability to integrate specific filters as required makes the system adaptable to different water qualities and applications.
• Sustainability: The absence of chemical disinfectants protects the environment and ensures healthy drinking water without residues.

Conclusion: Tailor-made solutions for clean water

Complex water treatment is essential to ensure that water of the highest quality is available. By combining the PURION UV system with a range of specialized water filters, a tailor-made 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.
