UV technology solutions

The potential number of non-tradional UV applications is likely infinite. Here are some applications we have looked at, worked on, or considered for UV treatment:

•  – Open water applications, i.e. salt, brackish and fresh water for aquaculture
•  – Shipboard applications, i.e. aquaculture, ballast water treatment, waste treatment (both human and process)
•  – Remote applications (isolated sites), small solar powered units
•  – Non-traditional water quality; high-temperature, high salt content, low UVT and turbulent flow, for treatment regarding flue stripping, fish processing waste fluids, liquid beverage and solid food surfaces, etc.
•  – Intermittent treatment applications, i.e. chemcial or biological batch processes
•  – Fluids with high solids contents and or ULUVT (Ultra Low UV Transmittance – fluids that are very opaque to UV light)
•  – Non-254nm wavelength applications. Need a different wavelength of UV for your application? 185nm? 362nm? Other?

UV-C treatment has been used in many applications that are considered mainstream for this technology. Applications we can help you with include:

•  – Closed vessel drinking water treatment from household sized units to municipal sized units
•  – Drinking water applications
•  – Waste water treatment with both open channel and closed vessels
•  – Pool and Splash-Pad water treatment solutions for both biological treatment and chrloramine destruct purposes
•  – Aquaculture water treatment

So you have a non-traditional UV application? We can help you to identify, select or develop products for non-traditional UV treatment.

We have the capability to develop products for:

• Treatment of liquids typically considered too ‘opaque’ for UV treatment (this is for fluids in the less than 30% UVT range, down to 1 x 10-⁵% UV transmission range or lower.
  • Applicable to products such as wines, juices, teas, paints, cutting fluids, syrups, feed products, biopharma fluids, waste streams, etc.
• Food treatment, be it liquid or solid foods
  •  Reduce spoilage, increase shelf life, eliminate use of chemicals
  •  Reduce risk of pathogens
  •  Juices, teas, grains, corn, breads, fruit and vegetable surfaces
• Prevention of the release of biological organisms or chemicals in a waste stream.
  •  Fish processing waste fluid treatment, etc.
• Surface treatment; foods, mechanical surfaces, liquid surfaces
  • Food surfaces, medical surfaces, food treatment for exposed solid and liquid surfaces
• Advanced oxidation processes.
  •  UV and ozone, peroxide, chloramine desctruct, ozone destruct, etc.
• Reducing biological or chemical risks in workplaces with recirculated fluids.
  •  Metal working fluids, vegetable or fruit or meat recycled processing rinse waters
• Reducing odours
  •  Metal working fluids, pulp and paper, etc.

We have experience with virtually all traditional UV fluid treatment products and processes:

• Closed vessel systems.
  • Residential products
  • Municipal products
  • Industrial/Commercial products
  • Consumer products
• Open Channel systems.
  • Municipal products
  • Aquaculture products

Technology development

Sometimes a customer has a product and only needs help with either improving or developing a specific technology within their product. At 2 Dogs Technologies we have extensive experience with:

• UV light source development.
  •  Mercury based lamp technologies such as Low Pressure (LP), Low Pressure High Output (LPHO), Amalgam, and Medium Pressure (MP) lamps
  •  New lamp technologies such as LED and Dielectric Barrier Discharge lamps
• UV sensors
  •  Traceable Sensors
  •  Non-Traceble ‘functionality’ Sensors
• Sensors, Other
  •  Safety Switches
  •  Temperature and Position (cleaning systems)
• UV cleaning systems
  •  Physical systems (mechanical wipers)
  •  Chemical systems (chemical cleaning via flood)
  •  Physical/Chemical cleaning systems (chemical held within canisters)
• Materials Testing and Use
  •  UV resistant material applications
  •  Materials for specific applications i.e. sea water, specialized fluids
  •  Materials typically used include stainless steels, steels (coated), duplex and other marine alloys, injection molded and machined polymers, and fiberglass or FRP products.
• Vessel and Ancillary Component Development
  •  Metal working fluids, vegetable or fruit or meat recycled processing rinse waters
  •  Lamp and sleeve mounts, lamp cable design
  •  System design for safety
• Regulatory Rquirement Design
  •  Specific design requirements needed to meet a specific regulatory body such as UL, cUL, CE, EPA, DVGW, ONORM, etc.
