the various types of reactors
Reading time:aquaray®, "small" closed vessel reactors
The aquaray® LPTS, LP, SMP, SLP, HLS products are usually positioned at the discharge of a pump. They consist of:
- a tubular chamber with two connection flanges that are perpendicular to the chamber horizontal axis;
- one or more lamps along with their quartz tubes, positioned parallel to the axis of the chamber;
- a lamp operation control system;
- an automatic quartz tube cleaning system.
These reactors have the following characteristics:
- high flow capacity resulting from a strong intensity field and therefore small overall dimensions;
- easy to install;
- head losses lower than 0.5 metres.
aquaray® H2O, "medium and large" size closed vessel reactors – in-line type
These reactors are typically installed on gravity flow lines (filter outlet) or on pressurised lines (storage tank or pump discharge). These reactors consist of:
- a tubular chamber with two connection flanges at each end;
- one or more lamps with their quartz sleeves, positioned perpendicular to the axis of the chamber;
- a lamp operation control system;
- an automatic quartz sleeve cleaning system;
These reactors have the following characteristics :
- high flow capacity resulting from a strong intensity field and therefore small overall dimensions;
- easy to install;
- relatively low head loss (less than 35 cm of head).
aquaray ® 40HO, 3X, HiCAP, open reactors
These reactors have been designed to process wastewater although drinking water applications can be considered for large flow rates.
These reactors consist of:
- one or more channels;
- several modules arranged in series and in parallel inside the channel(s); each module has an array of lamps and quartz sleeves parallel or perpendicular to the direction of the flow;
- a lamp operation control system;
- an automatic quartz sleeve cleaning system;
- a chemical cleaning tank for the modules ( UWW );
- a mechanism to automatically regulate the water level in the channel.
These reactors have the following characteristics:
- gravity type flow;
- easy access to lamps, quartz tubes and cleaning systems;
- the option of removing a disinfection module without interrupting the flow;
- low head loss (approximately 0.5 m of head).
