UV Lamps

UV Lamp Types Low Pressure Hg Vapor (Amalgam) Higher biocide efficiency Lower power, lower temperature Longer lamp life Lots of lamps needed for large flows Hence mostly in smaller plants

UV Lamp Types Medium Pressure Hg Vapor Broader UV spectrum Penetrate water better Higher power use per tube, higher temp Hotter tubes tend to foul more easily Fewer tubes needed Hence more efficient per watt for large flows

Comparative Spectra: Low and Medium Pressure UV Lamps Wavelength, nm
