The presence of legionella bacteria is a common problem in cooling towers. UV-C disinfection can be used to counteract this. UV radiation inactivates microorganisms. In this way, water, air and surfaces can be tackled and both legionella and biofilm can be controlled by UV-C.
In addition, biofilm can arise in the pipework. A UV-C system is a reliable water treatment in which the cooling water is disinfected to combat legionella, among other things, and to reduce the formation of biofilm in the pipework.

Stagnant water
In utility buildings, water can sometimes stand still for a long time. This supports the growth of microorganisms, including legionella. By using a VGE Pro UV-C system, employees in large office buildings and logistics centers can drink and shower safely. Water in fountains must also be disinfected, as legionella spreads through the water mist. VGE Pro offers a wide range of UV-C systems for this.

Not only disinfects water
In addition to water, UV-C can also disinfect air. This is ideal for spaces where people work intensively. Including a UV system in the air treatment system ensures the health of employees. Disinfecting surfaces, such as desks, with UV-C also enhances a healthy and safe working environment.

VGE Pro UV-C systems
Our VGE Pro UV-C series consists of various systems that can be modularly assembled and deployed. Based on customer demand, a system with an application-dependent control box is selected to achieve optimal disinfection. The lamp technology of VGE Pro makes the lamps easy and safe to replace, even when the irradiation chamber is filled with water. With the help of sensors it is possible to monitor and guarantee the disinfection process at all times.
