Germicidal Lamps
Germicidal Lamps are low pressure mercury vapor lamps which produce ultraviolet rays that are lethal to micro organisms. Radiations are generated by an electrical discharge through low pressure inert gases and mercury vapor within the special quartz tube of the lamp. Approximately 95% of the UV rays from the lamp are at the wave length of 2537A,(commonly referred to as 254nm) which is the region of maximum bactericidal effectiveness. Enviro process Engineering (HK) Co.Ltd. Germicidal lamps are available in non-ozone and very high ozone for your choice.

Applications Germicidal lamps are utilized in many applications including:
- Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP)
Advanced Oxidation Processes are use to remove
refractory organic compounds from air or water where UV light, hydrogen
peroxide, ozone or titanium dioxide alone would not work.
The AOP systems use the synergistic effect of UV light, hydrogen
peroxide (H2O2) and/or ozone (O3) or
titanium dioxide (TiO2) to produce hydroxyl radicals (OH),
which destroy these refractory organic contaminants in air or water.
The Advanced Oxidation Processes destroy a broad range of organics
compounds. The process creates no harmful emissions, by-products or
secondary streams and works collectively with all other system
components.

Food conveyor purification
Case Studies : UV conveyor for Food Disinfections
Taste is the most precious element of F&B. UV light can disinfect process water without a fear of producing any odious smell or taste. Our systems are suitable for F&B production areas where sanitation is of the utmost importance.
UV disinfection will kill micro-organisms on food surfaces such as egg shells, hard cheese, fruit and vegetables. The process is simple, reliable and economical. It is a proven technology which provides enhanced hygiene, higher quality and extended shelf life. Subject to rules and regulations of particular countries
Single and multiple UV lamp units can be constructed over a conveyor system
UV light intensity and emission spectrum can be specified.
Reflectors designed for flood or focused illumination area.
Shuttered or uncluttered systems.
Fan cooling.
Elapsed hour counter for UV lamp change scheduling.
Models for bench top or production line operation.

Water Tank Disinfections
UV Tank Disinfection is designed for use with liquid storage tanks as shown in the drawing to the right. The electrical enclosure should be protected from moisture and the quartz sleeve assembly is not recommended to be used in a submerged application over 5 psi. Attachment to existing liquid storage tanks to provide sanitary storage and disinfection for air and liquid contents.
Lamps and quartz sleeve should be periodically cleaned to maintain high transmission of ultraviolet rays. Stubborn stains that cannot be removed with alcohol or a detergent usually can be removed with a dilute hydrochloric acid. Lamps have a rated effective life of 9,000 ~10,000 hours.

Cooling Water
The utilization of UV technology in cooling water systems can control microbial growth within the water re-circulation process and significantly reduce the chemicals required to maintain these systems. This results in more efficient operations of these cooling systems and heat exchangers. -
Reuse
UV systems have a long history of being utilized in industry for the disinfection of reuse water. The water is reused after disinfection. Our UV systems can be employed to disinfect reuse water for bottle washes, vegetable, fruit, meat and poultry wash water streams. -
Ink Curing Applications
Ozone Besides producing 2537 Angstrom unit wave lengths of ultraviolet, some germicidal lamps are designed to produce controlled amounts of a shorter wave length of ultraviolet measured at 1850 Angstrom units (commonly referred to as 185nm). This wave length has the power of generating ozone which is a form of oxygen and is an extremely effective germicidal agent. Ozone also has the power of oxidizing odor molecules and therefore acts as a deodorizer. A further advantage is that ozone can be carried by air into places that the UV rays cannot reach directly.
Ozone producing lamps are commonly used for pool and spa water treatment, T.O.C. reduction and air purification.
Below is a list of the most standard germicidal lamps offered by Enviro Process Engineering. Please note that lamp offerings are not limited to this list.

UV Sensor
H2O-254UV system (USA), it consists of 3 components:
q UV Sensor for 253.7nm wavelength,
q 6ft standard cable (optional to 20 ft or 30ft) ,
q IP65 connector,
q UV display controller.
| Sensor: All sensor components are hermetically sealed in a stainless steel housing. The assembly of the unit is done under dry nitrogen gas to eliminate the presence of oxygen and water. The Sensor in NIST-traceable calibrated and come with a Certificate of Calibration. |
|
| Controller: The Controller has been designed to operate in industrial environments and includes a Temperature Alarm Setting System that can be defined by the end-user or completely disabled. The Controller has many reporting units, which are user-defined preferences such as temperature in oC or oF. The Controller is capable of continuously displaying the level of Irradiance detected in irradiance units (μW/cm2) or in percentage value(%). |
|
Cable: The cable connects to the Sensor with a IP-65 connector.
