UltraAqua Channel UV Systems

Open channel UV systems for disinfecting aquaculture intake and discharge water without a pressure vessel.

Product Information

Key Features

  • Open channel UV for aquaculture intake and discharge water — chemical-free disinfection with no pressure vessel to plumb in
  • Vertical, inclined or wall-mounted lamp banks, which makes this the practical retrofit into existing channels, tanks and old chlorine contact tanks
  • Modular lamp banks expand to suit almost any flow, and the system is custom sized to your channel depth and width
  • Tolerates up to 30 cm (12 in) of water level variation without losing coverage
  • Lamps sit vertically with no submerged electrical components and a hygienic isolated top compartment — routine maintenance is done with the system running, and without tools
  • Polypropylene or electropolished AISI 316L stainless steel to suit fresh, brackish or sea water
  • Automatic wiper system, continuous lamp performance and lifetime monitoring, and optional water level control and UVT sensor
  • CFD-optimised hydraulics using particle tracking and a conservative fouling factor, so the dose is delivered across the whole channel rather than just near the lamps
  • Sizing this system: the number of lamp banks follows from three things — your channel flow, the UV dose in mJ/cm² your target organism needs, and your %UVT. UltraAqua publish no flow ratings for the channel series because every install is custom, and UVT matters as much as flow: below 70% UVT you need the LOW UVT series instead. Send us your channel dimensions, flow, target dose and measured UVT and we will configure it.
