Outdoor UV disinfection system from ITT

16 October 2009

The UV Wedeco Tak 55 outdoor disinfection system treats municipal wastewater in open channels.

The Wedeco Tak 55 offers energy-saving UV disinfection in an all-weather cabinet and uses Spektrotherm UV lamps which reduces power costs by as much as 50%
 
Matthias Boeker, disinfection market manager for ITT Water and Wastewater said: “In more than 1,000 installations worldwide, this modular and highly flexible design has demonstrated effective, reliable performance. The Tak 55 outdoor UV System provides that same level of reliability for customers who prefer an open channel design completely installed outdoors.”
 
The electronic ballasts, control, power distribution and junction box of the UV Wedeco Tak 55 outdoor disinfection system are pre-wired into a compact stainless steel cabinet. The cabinet carries a 4X rating from the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) and does not require any building or shelter.
 
The Wedeco Tak 55 outdoor system operates at high and low temperatures and includes advanced A/C for ambient temperature up to 122 degrees (50 degrees Celsius). An uninterrupted power supply keeps the PLC running during a power outage, with the recording of all alarms for approximately 20 minutes. The oxygen recycling option can reduce consumption of the Wedeco ozone system by up to 70%.
