Open-Channel UV Disinfection Systems

Modular UV lamp banks for municipal wastewater, reuse and large-flow channels. The system is engineered around channel hydraulics, UV transmittance, target dose, operating level and maintenance access.

Application-led selection

The channel is part of the UV system

Open-channel performance depends on much more than total flow. Puritor reviews channel width and depth, minimum and peak water level, UVT, solids, required redundancy and how operators will lift, clean and service the modules.

01 · Hydraulics

Flow and water level

Minimum, average and peak flow are checked with channel dimensions and level-control conditions.

02 · Water quality

Wastewater UVT

UVT, suspended solids and fouling determine lamp spacing, power and cleaning requirements.

03 · Operations

Maintenance access

Module lifting, control cabinets, lamp-status monitoring and safe service access are designed with the site.

Current product families

A modular engineered platform

Open-channel systems should not be reduced to a single catalogue model. The useful product families are the components that form a complete, maintainable disinfection train.

Final lamp count and dose performance require a hydraulic and water-quality design basis. A site drawing or channel section is especially useful.
