Hydrok-Lazur

UV/Ultrasound Disinfection System

Hydrok-Lazur integrated Ultra-Violet and Ultrasound disinfection process eliminates (99.999%) of micro-organisms and viruses.

In the United Kingdom, UV light is becoming the most common means of disinfection because of the concerns about the impacts
of chlorine in chlorinating residual organics in the wastewater and in chlorinating organics in the receiving water. The
HYDROK-LAZUR UV process has overcome the disadvantages associated with conventional UV disinfection.

The most common draw backs to conventional UV disinfection processes are:

• Lamp and reactor fouling
• Frequent lamp maintenance and replacement
• Shielding of micro-organisms from UV radiation in poorly treated wastewater.

The HYDROK-LAZUR system utilises low pressure amalgam lamp technology (UV dose > 65 mJ/ cm2) with ultrasound (US dose > 2 W/ cm2) in a single unit. The combination of these two
technologies virtually eradicates the common problems associated with UV disinfection. In addition, ultrasound augments the disinfection of the low pressure UV lamp process.

Applications

• Wastewater effluent for discharge into rivers and water courses
• Water abstracted from either a ground water source, or a surface water body such as a river or reservoir for potable water treatment
