The quality and properties of water must meet the specifications demanded by the process. Industry is also demanding solutions which assist in the treatment of water for recycling and reuse of wastewater. Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI) is a widely adopted alternative treatment technology that provides industry solutions within the ever changing regulatory landscape.
Examples of where UV technology is used in process fluid applications:
- Sugar Syrups
- Machine Tool Cutting Fluids
- Food Brine
- Effluent from Food Processing
- Vegetable Wash Water Reclaim
- Process Water Chlorine / Chloramine Destruction
- Hydroponic Water Treatment
- Hospital Automatic Washer Disinfection Systems
Machine Tool Cutting Fluids
Machine coolant (also known as cutting fluids) used in industrial cutting and machining systems are highly susceptible to microbial contamination. Microbial contamination can reduce working life of the metal removing fluid. There is also growing concern with microbial contamination of metal working fluids and exposure to machine operators.
Wavelengths UV Technologies offers environmentally friendly solutions to mitigate microbial contamination in metal cutting fluids. This environmentally safe technology in combination with the implementation of fluid management strategies will prolong the life of the MWFs but will also protect the health of the workers.
