IMPORTANT RECYCLING OF ENERGY

CLICK HERE FOR DETAILS

Optimized UV efficiency

The high purity quartz disinfection chamber surrounded by a block of air, uses the principles of optical fiber to recycle light photons.
The UV photons emitted by the lamp can not penetrate the air block and bounce several times in the water (a phenomenon known in the optical fiber as total internal reflection).
Photons of UV light are distributed through the entire volume of water, so that all microorganisms are reached and inactivated.

Reduction of energy consumption

The increase in efficiency for each UV photon means that less UV is needed to achieve the same results.
Less UV means less energy consumption and longer lamps.

Optimized hydraulics

The water flow is synchronized to match the pattern of UV light distribution.

There are no parts, deflectors or brushes in the UV disinfection chamber that can block the UV photons that treat the microorganisms that arrive in the water.

Uniform dose distribution

A horizontal UV distribution system and optimized hydraulic engineering ensure that all microorganisms in the water treatment chamber are exposed to a uniform UV dose.
The entire volume of water is subjected to efficient disinfection.

Medium
Pressure

ULTRAVIOLET DISINFECTION

Equipped with a medium pressure polychromatic lamp with high inten-
sity properties; providing 2 times more energy than other medium pres-
sure UV lamps, and 16 times more than low-pressure lamps. The result
is an extraordinary germicidal protection.

DOSAGE - FREQUENCY

CLICK HERE FOR DETAILS

HODW-O®

It has the ability to dose the rhythm of each lamp. The properties of its software of logic, sensors and controls, allow the automatic adjustment of the dose according to the evolution of the water quality to guarantee the protection in real time. The dose needed to meet any application need is maintained at all times through this reliable approach. The efficient use of UV energy, achieved through the properties of control of the frefuencia of the doses, allows a lower consumption of energy and a greater duration of the lamps.

In the image you can see the cross section of the HODW-O® unit that shows the high level of disinfection achieved by the configuration of the quartz chamber, equipped with thick lampholder tubes that isolate these from the water.

LESS MERCURY - SAFER

CLICK HERE FOR DETAILS

HODW-O® lamps are shorter and reduce the risk of breakage

Lamp with lengths of 26.3 cm (10.35 “).
Easy to handle

Thick quartz tubes protect lamps and water

Quartz chamber with 5 times the thickness of conventional quartz sleeves.
There is no possibility of breaking glass or mercury in the water, in the unlikely event of a UV lamp breakage.
There are no thin quartz sleeves that can break or replace.

Less mercury

Its small size, involves less mercury and less exposure in case of breakage.
Some systems use very long lamps that are much more susceptible to breakage. These lamps add the danger of large “spills” of mercury when they break.

Self-Cleaning
System

ULTRAVIOLET DISINFECTION

The HODW-O® systems can optionally incorporate an automatic cleaning system
that prevents deposits of scale and ensures maximum use of the efficiency of UV
light in the disinfection chamber. The patented cleaning system of the HODW-O®
completely retracts itself, in such a way that it doesnot produce shadows and does
not affect the effectiveness of the lamps.

8
Minutes

Each lamp of the HODW-O® requires only 4 minutes to be replaced. In most cases, the systems are equipped with 1 or 2 lamps, so the average time in maintenance work is between 8 and 16 minutes.

Protection of
Osmosis Systems

HODW-O®

CONTINUE

HODW-O® as a UV treatment for non-chemical disinfection and dechlorina
tion is a sustainable alternative to chemistry (SBS / SMBS) against Biofouling
and its heavy maintenance burden. The UV technology of HODW-O® is unique
in its ability to disinfect and dechlorinate feed water and production water in a
single non-chemical process. The system decomposes free chlorine and signif-
icantly reduces the combined oxidants of chlorine in water to protect RO mem-
branes. At the same time, high-level sintering technology reduces the biofouling
potential of the membrane by eliminating the potential for anaerobic and aero-
bic bacterial growth.

Legionella
Elimination and Control

HODW-O®

CONTINUE

HODW-O® is a cost-effective, safe and efficient method to reduce the biofilm
in the water of the cooling tower. By preventing new biofilm formers from en-
tering the cooling tower water, it has a profound impact on microbial integrity
downstream. It can be a key component of a Legionella control program be-
cause it inactivates both organisms that are resistant to chemicals and organ
isms typically treated with chemicals in a single treatment. • Inactive Legionella
bacteria, as well as other bacteria, algae and protozoa that are resistant to tra-
ditional chemical biocides.

Control of
Invasive Species

HODW-O®

CONTINUE

In heavy industry, while traditional meshes capture large organisms, larvae of mus-
sels, barnacles, clams and other invasive species settle, grow and block pipes and
exchangers. The resulting reduction of capacity in the energy exchange and pump-
ing, compromises the functionality of the plants. The UV treatment of HODW-O®
has been shown to prevent 99% of fixation and settling at low UV doses.
The HODW-O® solution eliminates the need for corrosive chemicals and is safer
for water and the environment.
• Sustainable and profitable solution
• Meets strict environmental regulations

micals for process water, rinse and CIP applications. It achieves high reductions of
microorganisms and is particularly effective against those resistant to chlorine, pseu-
domonas, cryptosporidium and gardia. It also inactivates heat-resistant viruses and
spores. HODW-O® is tested in field tests and validated for the highest standards of
regulation including EPA, FDA and PMO. HODW O® guarantees the safety of water
without adding chemicals and without disinfection by-products. The Cost-Effective-
ness and Environmental Respect of the HODW O® solution offers levels of inactiva-
tion never before reached with other UV systems.

Dechlorination
Without Chemicals

HODW-O®

CONTINUE

HODW-O® high-intensity, medium-intensity ultraviolet light is extremely ef
fective at decomposing free chlorine at undetectable levels, and is a clean
and safe alternative to the activated carbon filter and sodium bisulfite. The
results are reliable and the system is sustainable. It protects the system in-
cluding filters and RO membranes from microbial contamination, reducing
the maintenance load, while providing high level water disinfection and a-
vailability on demand. In addition, HODW-O® is fully compatible with PW
and WFI standards.

Sulphite Reductive
Bacteria Control

HODW-O®

CONTINUE

The production water of the mining industry, as well as that of Oil & Gas,
contains a large quantity of microorganisms. While the types of organisms
vary widely, the most damaging to this industry are sulfphite-reducing bacte-
ria (SRB). These SRB are present in all the waters manipulated in the mining
or oilfield and they aggravate the deposits converting the sulphate ions into
hydrogen sulfide (H2S). The SRB activity potential is even greater when the
operations are based on the injection of produced water. The working prin-
ciple of HODW-O® has been proven highly effective in controlling these SRB
by improving results.

Active Carbon Substitution
Post A.C. Treatment

HODW-O®

CONTINUE

Carbon is a breeding ground for bacteria prone to biofouling and, without
intensive maintenance, is subject to costly advances. A HODW O® unit, in-
stalled immediately after the active carbon filter, protects against ruptures
and reduces downstream biofouling, so there is less demand for frequent
and aggressive cleaning. Likewise, in some industrial processes Active Car-
bon can be replaced by an HODW-O® system improving efficiency and ef-
fectiveness, reducing risks.

Cold Disinfection of Water
Equivalent to Pasteurization

HODW-O®

CONTINUE

The principles of HODW-O® meet the PMO 2009 criteria for water equivalent
to pasteurized, which authorizes UV to replace traditional pasteurization if it
adheres to specific criteria. The principles of HODW-O® comply and is verified
by third-party validation. It obtains pasteurized water equivalent to demand, re-
placing the costly processes of heat pasteurization that consume a lot of energy.
If you currently pasteurize the water in batches, you can join a tank and in this
way you can save energy costs by keeping intact the levels of disinfection obtain-
ed with traditional water pasteurization.
