Application optimized UV for Total Organic Carbon

Total Organic Carbon (TOC) is found in all water supplies as naturally occurring organic matter. UV treatment is a very effective process step in the breakdown and reduction of TOC in water to create ultrapure water used in micro-electronics applications. UV systems designed for TOC reduction require special geometries and high-purity quartz materials that are partially transparent to short UV wavelengths.

Combined with medium-pressure and low-pressure high-intensity UV technology, Nuvonic ”Super TOC” lamps are specially designed for large flowrate or PPB level TOC reduction. We achieve this by using a special 185 nm synthetic UV lamp and quartz sleeve to break down low molecular weight organics by dissociation of molecular bonds and the generation of aggressive hydroxyl radicals from water molecules that break down organic compounds.

Each system comes with a UV monitor to measure the intensity output of the UV system and make it easy to monitor and log performance.
