UV Knowledge Hub
The UV Knowledge Hub is a collaborative initiative designed to make UV expertise accessible, structured, and actionable. Together with the UV community, we are building an open and reliable knowledge center that brings together technical insights, practical guidance, case studies, and industry developments. By consolidating expertise from across the field, the UV Knowledge Hub supports informed decision-making and strengthens the collective impact of UV technology worldwide.
How to use UV technology
When choosing a UV system, you want certainty: consistent performance, safe disinfection and a reliable setup that fits your water needs. In this article, we explore the six key parameters that truly make a difference:
- UV-C dose required to reliably treat the water
- UV-C transmittance as important indicator of water quality
- The type of water you want to treat and its pre-treatment
- Desired result after UV-C treatment
- Measurement of the key parameters of your system
- Different types of UV-C sources.
Understanding these key parameters helps you to select an UV-C solution you can rely on, day in, day out for years
