Disinfection

UV Technology is a proven technology used for disinfection purposes. Ultraviolet radiation in the 254nM wavelength penetrates the cell walls of various pathogens and rips apart the DNA so that it cannot reproduce, rendering it inactive through a mechanical means. One cannot overtreat with UV radiation, it adds no odor, no taste, and no by-products, making it a safe and effective means of disinfection that has been widely used for the last 70 years.

Ozone Destruction

UV radiation in the 254nM Wavelength removes residual ozone in water. Ozone will absorb the UV energy and rapidly break down to dissolved oxygen. When exposed to a fluence of 90mJ/cm², a concentration of 1.0 ppm can be reduced to a level <0.1ppm (undetectable).

Chlorine Destruction

Very High intensity UV radiation in the 185nM wavelength can destroy concentrations of free chlorine, making it a useful tool to remove chlorine in front of expensive RO membranes instead of carbon beds.

TOC Reduction

High doses of UV radiation used in conjunction with Reverse Osmosis and Deionization can produce powerful hydroxy radicals that can oxidize organic carbons, a process useful in the microelectronics industries.

Dual Lamp Technologies

Available in both High Output and Amalgam lamp technologies for the ultimate flexibility in managing flow rate vs footprint. Amalgam lamps have double the output of High Output lamps resulting in fewer lamps per flow rate or to maximize dosage for special applications when needed.

The Leopard UV Series is expressly designed to meet the requirements of the Food and Beverage, Pharmaceutical, and Microelectronics industries, yet is made simply enough for in-plant personnel to easily troubleshoot and service.

Designed to provide high performance in various applications with flows from 40 GPM to 1600+ GPM. Built to stand tall against aggressive ultrapure water.

Reverse Osmosis and DI water is highly aggressive because almost all impurities have been removed, leaving behind hydroxy radicals, which are are great oxidizing agents because they want to combine with something. They will seek out carbon that has been raised to the surface by the welding process and start oxidizing the welds. For that reason, higher grade 316L stainless steel with less impurities must be used. In addition, the units need to be electropolished, which draws out impurities both in the surface steel and the welds, plus smooths out microscopic rough spots where oxidation can occur. The units are also passivated, which seals and anneals the welds for long service in ultrapure water. Using inferior 304 SS or skimping on the electropolishing and passivation process can cause pinholes in the welds and premature failure of the chamber.
