Aquaculture

Peace of Mind with UV

Aquaculture and Aquariums represent a substantial opportunity for ultraviolet water treatment. These industries are experiencing significant growth, and UV water processing provides considerable benefits for the health and well-being of marine life. UV does this without the introduction of chemicals or by-products which can have a disastrous impact on the health of the aquatic life.

UV is proven to be effective for inactivating microorganisms that are potentially lethal to marine life. Several fish pathogens eg. VHS, IPN, IPA, UDN, PKD, FURUNCULOSIS AND Vibrio are destroyed at a UV dose of 600-900 J/m2

Ultraviolet light is also effective for inactivating numerous other microorganisms that threaten the delicate balance created for fish farming and aquarium environments.

The primary benefits of using UV for disinfection are that no chemicals are required, and it is a clean, safe and environmentally friendly process with no residuals or toxic by-products that could be harmful to the marine life.

A side benefit of UV is that it helps to control algae growth in the manmade marine ecosystems.

The most common applications for UV in aquaculture are Disinfection, and Ozone Destruction. Please review the relevant products and applications from the sidebar to your right.
