Talk:Hod

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hydro-Optic Disinfection (HOD) systems are used for primary disinfection for a variety of industrial and municipal applications. The HOD technology exhibit several unique features:

• Its Medium Pressure High Intensity proprietary UV light sources are placed outside the water and behind thick quartz windows. By separating the electrical mechanism from the wet water chamber no heat is generated in the water and fouling is virtually eliminated. At the same time, light source replacement becomes simple and requires very little down time as the water can continue to flow through the reactor.

• The core of the HOD system is made of a large quartz tube that acts both as a clear water channel and as an effective light trap using the "total internal reflection" principle. This unique configuration creates a homogeneous uniform distribution of the UV light throughout the reactor's cross-section and a dosage that systematically achieves high micro-organism reduction.

• A dual sensor configuration provides direct reading of the water's UVT and lamp intensity, guaranteeing light that accurately matches the requirements set by the user.
