Aquaray* 3X Ultraviolet (UV) Systems

Vertical lamp UV disinfection system, ideal for mid-sized to large water treatment plants

The Aquaray 3X Ultraviolet (UV) systems is compact in design, ideal for mid-sized to large scale wastewater plants where energy optimization is of the utmost importance. Designed with 36 high output, vertical lamps with the ability to provide a water consumption of 12 to 60 million gallons per day (MGD) of water consumption. Utilizing advanced technology, the system optimizes energy use through variable-output ballasts, efficient lamps, and row-by-row switching. Real-time flow-based dose pacing and continuous UV intensity monitoring ensure precise treatment. The Aquaray 3X balances optimal disinfection with minimal power consumption, ideal for facilities aiming to reduce energy use without sacrificing treatment quality. Its scalable capacity and adaptive energy management make it a progressive solution for wastewater plants seeking to improve efficiency and sustainability.

Overview

The Aquaray 3X UV Systems utilize 36 high output , 406 watt lamps powered by electronic ballasts to generate germicidal wavelengths of the UV spectrum. The lamps are inserted in a quartz sleeve and isolated from the wastewater while delivering the require effluent inactivation. UV sensors are installed to monitor the UV intensity of the lamps to consistently provide the proper intensity is delivered.

Applications

  • Wastewater
  • Wastewater Reuse

Integrated Cleaning System

Proper cleaning is crucial for UV system efficiency. Without it, algae and other materials build up on quartz sleeves, reducing disinfection effectiveness. Regular cleaning is a straightforward method to boost overall disinfection performance.

Veolia's built-in cleaning system comes standard and offers several advantages. It includes enhanced components for increased system lifespan, allows for quick and easy replacement of worn parts, and simplifies maintenance procedures. This integrated feature ensures optimal performance and easier upkeep of your UV system.

Cleaning System Features:

Split Drive

Nut The split drive nut is Veolia’s innovative design at the heart of the wiper system. The addition of this component makes it possible to increase daily wiping frequency without a significant impact on required maintenance time. It also allows plant operators to change worn components in a fraction of the time than previously required.

Split Wiper

The split wiper design makes it easy to quickly change wipers without removing sleeves helping simplify UV plant maintenance exponentially. In addition, they feature reusable housing clips which also extend the lifetime of the wiper by maintaining pressure on all sides of the quartz sleeve. 

Wiper Plate Stabilizers

These stabilizers are installed at the corners of the wiper plate to reduce the effort it takes for the drive nut to travel the plate up and down the quartz sleeves. As a result the drive nut experiences less wear and tear over time prolonging the lifetime of the wiper drive nut.
