Water is a precious resource, and we need to do everything we can to conserve it. One way to do this is to recycle greywater and blackwater.

Celebrating UNESCO's International Day of Light with a brief overview of the various industries and applications of Ultraviolet light solutions for disinfection systems and processes that benefit everyday life.

In a global market facing pressure, there will be plenty of suppliers that will attempt to offer low prices to gain short-term sales success. When this happens the argument of price versus quality really comes to the front of a decision.

When fish stock needs to be transported by a vessel there is the challenge to keep the fish safely enclosed and in healthy water for the duration of the voyage. To do this it usually means using a ‘wellboat’.

The use of low and medium-pressure UV lamps in disinfection systems is a common occurrence. But to get to the point where a company or utility decides on the best solution to employ for their needs there are plenty of considerations to work through – including the choice of using low (LP) or medium-pressure (MP) UV lamps.

Dealing with UV lamp orders for disinfection systems is a daily, or perhaps we should say an hourly process for us here at Alpha-Purify. But we appreciate this may not be that regular an occurrence for our customers who come to us to order their replacement lamps.

We’ve previously explored why ultraviolet light can be so beneficial in helping treat drinking water (see link below) but where does the UV technology fit into the whole process?

PFAS stands for a group of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances. Known as forever chemicals, PFAS are incredibly durable and do not break down over time which means they are now attracting international attention over the environmental impact PFAS are having on our water supplies.

With the use of UV lamps widespread across many applications, it’s worth understanding why it’s important to consider the manufacturing quality of an ultraviolet lamp.

Here at Alpha-Purify, we are proud of the quality and manufacturing standards of our medium-pressure UV lamps. And to help illustrate this we have created this infographic showing the lifecycle of our lamps from R&D through to recycling.

UV is recognised* as a viable means of water, air and surface disinfection. UV systems that emit UV-C light are used around the world in industries like drinking water and wastewater treatment.

UV technology is in our lives far more than you probably realise. There are a growing number of industries that use UV light as part of their disinfection applications for process, drinking and wastewater to help provide their customers with clean and safe water.

There are two different types of UV lamps that are most commonly used to help purify water in disinfection systems, low-pressure lamps and medium-pressure lamps. So, what are the pros and cons of each, and which is better for water disinfection?

Ultraviolet technology is playing a critical role in the safe ongoing treatment of patients with kidney disease.
