The UVOX process
The UVOX process was invented by Mr. ing J.J. Berson as a further development of the ultraviolet technology:
- By means of an ultraviolet lamp produced especially for Wapure air is irradiated with ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 185 nm. The oxygen in the air is converted into ozone by means of this ultraviolet irradiation. Ozone leads to oxidation of the pathogenic germs in the water (bacteria, viruses and algae) and parasitic dissolved matter (such as nitrite, cyanide, plant protectants/pesticides, chlorinated hydrocarbons, hydrosulphides/other odours, humic substances, pharmaceutical products). This air mixture is injected into the water cycle via a Venturi injection system.
- Water and the air mixture are irradiated again with ultraviolet light (254 nm) in the UVOX-250 reaction chamber. Through this, two types of processes take place:
1. The ozone in the water is converted into OH- radicals, whereby the relative oxidation potential is increased from 1.52 (ozone value) to 2.05 (OH- radicals value). The remaining
ozone content is destroyed.
In the majority of cases, an activated carbon filter for elimination of the ozone is therefore not required. OH- radicals have the greatest oxidation power and can reduce a variety of very persistent substances.
2. Very efficient killing-off (up to 99.9%) of the germs and pathogens takes place by means of ultraviolet light irradiation (254 nm).
