UV reactor for ultraviolet water disinfection installed in Canary Islands plant

EQUIPMENT AND INTEGRATION

A well-integrated UV reactor in the water line

The layout of the reactor, the electrical panel and access to the lamps and sleeves condition daily operation. We study the connections, instrumentation and maintenance location within the plant.

  • Access for inspection and replenishment.
  • Connections and electrical installation suitable for the equipment.
  • Flow rate and pretreatment control.
How is UV disinfection integrated?

Ultraviolet (UV) water disinfection is an effective and safe solution for eliminating bacteria, viruses and micro-organisms without the use of chemicals. The result depends on the sizing, the quality of the incoming water and the maintenance of the equipment.

In Hidrosoluciones Canarias we design, supply and integrate UV disinfection systems adapted to each application, offering reliable solutions adapted to the need.

For industrial installations, residents' associations, hotels and water supplies in Tenerife and the rest of the Canary Islands, we analyse the flow rate, water quality, UV transmittance and operating regime before defining the equipment and its maintenance. UV disinfection can be integrated with the water filtration and ultrafiltration as a microbiological barrier within a treatment solution.

WATER ENGINEERING AND QUALITY

Sizing of UV disinfection with water data

An ultraviolet reactor is selected for the actual flow rate of the installation and the dose required by its application. The UV transmittance of the water, turbidity, particles, microbiological quality, pressure, demand peaks and duty cycle condition the result. That is why we study the complete process before choosing a lamp or a multi-lamp configuration.

UV radiation acts inside the reactor on the water passing through it; it does not provide residual disinfectant to the network. If the end use requires subsequent protection, the solution must incorporate it along with health control and applicable regulations.

Data for preparing a proposal

  • Origin and analytics of the water; UV transmittance where applicable.
  • Average and peak flow rate, working hours and required continuity.
  • End use: human consumption, process, hotel, community or reuse.
  • Space, connections, pre-treatment, feeding and automation.
  • Microbiological objective, controls and planned maintenance.

A nominal output by itself does not accredit a UV dose under all service conditions.

TECHNOLOGY AND COMPONENTS

Industrial UV reactors, multi-lamp equipment and consumables

Industrial UV systems can integrate stainless steel chambers, lamps protected by quartz sleeves, an electrical control panel, status indication and control signals. The final solution is defined according to the water, the dose and the operating point.

01

Industrial lamp ballast

Compact equipment for service lines and lower flow rate processes. Connections, operating range and maintenance space are determined for each installation.

02

Multi-lamp UV systems

Multi-lamp configurations for higher demands and treatment plants, with hydraulic and electrical integration tailored to the flow rate and required continuity.

03

Spares and control

UV lamps, quartz sleeves, power supplies, hour meters, indicators and compatible accessories. Part numbers and availability are checked before supplying or replacing components.

PROFESSIONAL APPLICATIONS

UV disinfection for facilities requiring continuity

We integrate the UV barrier into the existing treatment or into a new plant, with the pretreatment, controls and operation appropriate for the use of the water.

Industry and food

Process water, preparation, washing and microbiological protection at critical points defined after studying the circuit.

Hotels and resorts

Service networks, leisure facilities and complementary treatments adapted to flow rate, quality and health requirements.

Communities and sourcing

Buildings, community facilities and collective supply with a focus on peak consumption, monitoring and continuity.

Plants and special projects

Final barrier in filtration and ultrafiltration, potabilisation and modular solutions, subject to the quality and intended use of the water.

AN INTEGRATED BARRIER

The complete system matters just as much as the lamp

01

Water preparation

Filtration and particle control to protect the effectiveness of the UV treatment.

02

Reactor and connections

Accessible layout, supplied hydraulics and space for extracting lamps and sleeves.

03

Panel and alarms

Lamp status, operating hours and signal integration or flow cut-off where applicable.

04

Verification

Parameter checking, commissioning and control plan according to the end use.

FROM THE VISIT TO THE OPERATION

How we approach a UV disinfection project

We review the installation, analytics and client objective; we cross-check the sizing and compatibility of the equipment; and we define assembly, commissioning, control and replacement. In an existing line, we also study maintenance access, the bypass and the location of the sampling point.

When the need arises from a microbiological problem, diagnosis must consider the incoming water and subsequent points in the process. The UV barrier is part of a facility control strategy.

UV maintenance and spare parts

  • Tracking of hours and lamp status.
  • Cleaning or replacement of quartz sleeves depending on fouling.
  • Inspection of the panel, connections, alarms and electrical components.
  • Flow rate check, pre-treatment and control points.
  • Supply of compatible consumables for the installed equipment.

CANARY ISLANDS AS A TECHNICAL BASE

UV disinfection systems in the Canary Islands and projects towards Africa

We cater to the needs of businesses, hotels, communities and water managers in Tenerife and throughout the rest of the archipelago. The visit, logistics, installation and supply of spare parts are planned according to the island, the flow rate and the scope of the project.

Coverage to be studied

Tenerife · Gran Canaria · Lanzarote · Fuerteventura · La Palma · La Gomera · El Hierro · La Graciosa

We also study modular installations and supply for projects in Africa, with travel and support defined for each destination.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently asked questions about UV water disinfection

How do you size an industrial UV lamp?

Peak flow rate, UV transmittance, water quality, required dose, end use and operating conditions are evaluated. The nominal flow rate of a system requires technical verification in each case.

Does UV light replace residual disinfectant?

No. Radiation acts in the reactor and leaves no residual in the downstream network. The need for complementary disinfection depends on the use, the circuit, and the applicable regulations.

What maintenance does an ultraviolet system need?

Operational and service hours check, quartz sleeve cleaning, lamp replacement according to the data sheet and inspection of pre-treatment, sensors, alarms and electrical panel where applicable.

Can it be integrated into an osmosis or ultrafiltration plant?

Yes, as a disinfection stage within a global solution. Its position and controls are decided according to the water quality and the end use.

Do you work outside Tenerife?

Projects are considered throughout the Canary Islands and African destinations. Assistance and supply are confirmed according to the scope and logistics of each installation.
