How Does It Work?

At 254 nanometers, the optimum wavelength for destroying micro-organisms (viruses, bacteria, algae, yeasts, mould...), UV-C rays penetrate to the heart of DNA and disturb the metabolism of cells until they are totally destroyed.


The reactors in the BIO-UV ranges are dimensioned according to the flow rate: it is the combination of the contact time in the reactor and the power of the lamp(s), that will ensure that the necessary dose (expressed in millijoules per square centimeter or mJ/cm2) sufficient to kill 99.9% of the micro-organisms (bacteria, viruses, algae in suspension,…) is received.
