The unique configuration of the AF3 produces an axial flow through an L-shaped, elongated treatment chamber, increasing residency time and improving disinfection performance.
It can treat flow rates of up to 50 m3/hour.
With a life of up to 16,000 hours, the system UV lamps produce up to three times the UV output of standard mercury low pressure lamps.
A key feature of the lamps is their ability to operate at temperatures up to 40C (compared to 18C for conventional low pressure lamps) without any significant loss of germicidal output and efficiency.
The AF3 also uses fewer UV lamps and less electrical power to generate a given UV output compared to conventional low pressure UV technology.
Optimised for the delivery of drinking water disinfection doses, the germicidal performance of the AF3 is of the highest standard, satisfying international regulatory requirements.
To ensure the AF3 integrates simply and effectively with a variety of installation requirements, three levels of control are available, all with outputs linkable to building management or SCADA systems.
Combining a microprocessor-based control system with an "intelligent" electronic ballast, the 'Electron' system controller provides a versatile combination of controls, alarms and clear indicators.
An optional UV monitor allows constant measurement of UV intensity delivered by the lamp, displayed on the Electron controller screen as a percentage.
Intensity output can also be linked to the plant SCADA system.
