expensive uninterruptible power supply standby electrical

generation, as the microwave lamps re-strike the instant
that power is available.

Without electrodes to fail or deteriorate, UV lamp life is

extended beyond three years in Euro-ATS’s electrodeless UV
systems, resulting in both operational and cost advantages

by requiring less frequent lamp changes. Additionally,

savings are achieved because without electrical connections
between the microwave generator and the lamps,

components can be changed quickly, reducing labor-related

maintenance costs.

Euro-ATS’s electrodeless lamps can be turned on and off as

often as required without affecting lamp life. Therefore, the

system is ideal for flow pacing and other applications that

experience changes to flow rates, such as instances with
varying weather conditions and flow patterns, since power

consumption can be accurately matched to disinfection

requirements. Moreover, the company’s electrodeless UV

system can operate in a partially-filled wastewater channel
without deterioration.

Unlike an electroded lamp, which requires space at the top

and bottom for the electrodes, the gas discharge fills the
entire lamp column in an electrodeless lamp. Radiation is,

therefore, more efficiently produced through the entire

length of the lamp.

Tthe electrodeless lamp has very low residual radiation of

energy and thus an almost instant shut-off capability.
