produces greater operational safety, with high-tension

wiring contained within the magnetron head.

For more than 100 years, UV disinfection has proven highly

effective on waterborne pathogens and viruses, offering low

capital and operating costs compared to alternative
treatment methods. Euro-ATS’ microwave-powered,

electrodeless UV disinfection systems offer significantly

improved reliability and lamp life compared to traditional
electroded UV lamps, resulting in lower overall operational

cost and maintenance requirements. In a net present value

comparison of microwave-powered and traditional UV

disinfection systems, the operational and maintenance

benefits of a microwave-powered system can produce
significant operational cost savings for a utility.

Competitors

In the past five years, the number of key water companies

specializing in UV technology has dwindled. ITT acquired

Wedeco; Danaher, Trojan Technologies and Aquafine;

Siemens Water Technologies, Sunlight Systems; and Severn

Trent Services, Quay Technologies. This consolidation trend

is expected to continue in the near future, as small,

successful niche players represent excellent growth

opportunities for large corporations wishing to get in on the

UV action.

USP: Competitor’s devices are equipped with electrode UV

lamp. Electrode UV lamp has a very short life-span. Intensity

of the electrode UV lamp goes down very rapidly. Electrode
