| Drinking water: |
| UV-disinfection is used very often and with great successf or drinking water supply . Beside local organized central drinking water treatment, decentralized drinking water disinfection plays an important ongoing part in regions difficult to access. |
| Examples |
 |
| Sewage: |
| Sewage-disinfection is also the biggest growth market for UV-procedures. Water-degermination according to biological purification grade is essential for the protection of the environment and is already required by law in many countries. |
| Examples |
|
| Ultrapure water: |
| Ultrapure water preparation is an important application area for UV-technology. Hydrocarbon compounds in water can be decreased with the combination of UV-light and a wavelength of 185 nm and other treatments. These particularly high degrees of purity are required in pharmaceutical production as well as semiconductor production. |
| Examples |
|
| Process water: |
| The industry needs neutral, disinfected water for countless processes. Degerminated water is required in the beverage and food industry, for example in the manufacturing process as well as purging- and cleansing-process. It is used for disinfecting medical appliances just as well.
|
| Examples |
|
| Special applications: |
There are a range of application areas for UV-systems that do not fit to the above named categories.
These are for example: |
- Pisciculture, which requires extremely high and pure water quality
- Swimming pools of all sizes
- Brewery
- Electroplating industry
- Washing plants
- Hospitals
- Brack-seawater desalination
- Cooling water treatment
- Cosmetics industry
