Aquatech Amsterdam is the premier global event for water technology, bringing together industry leaders, innovators and experts to showcase the latest advancements in water treatment. This year, key industry themes included UV disinfection, reverse osmosis (RO), ozone treatment, PFAS monitoring and removal, phosphorus recovery and nitrate monitoring. The growth in these technologies and innovations highlights the global industry’s commitment to ensuring safer, cleaner water worldwide.
Patrick Glackin and Davy Simms
Davy Simms (Sales Director), Patrick Glackin (Sales Engineer) and Michael Pauley (Sales Engineer) from Photonic Measurements were proud to be part of the event.
The team engaged with key stakeholders in highlighting the importance of online UV Transmittance (UVT) monitoring and portable verification in ensuring the effectiveness of UV disinfection systems.
Market Growth in UVT Monitoring and UV Disinfection
The global demand for UV disinfection is on the rise, with the industry increasingly recognizing its effectiveness in removing contamination and preventing disinfection byproducts for water treatment. With growing concerns over waterborne contaminants, stricter regulations and the need for chemical-free disinfection, the UV disinfection market is expanding rapidly.
This shift demonstrates a strong commitment by the industry to enhancing water safety and sustainability.
Key drivers of this growth include:
Stricter water quality regulations pushing for effective pathogen control.
Rising concerns about chemical disinfectants and their byproducts.
Advancements in low pressure and UVC LED technology.
Ensuring High Performance with Online UVT Monitoring
The effectiveness of UV disinfection systems depends on accurate and continuous monitoring of UVT levels. UV disinfection system performance is measured in various ways including UV intensity sensors which gauge the integrity of the UV Lamps. Although this is important, it does not tell much about the water sample itself – For this we use UV Transmittance and Absorbance to get real-time measurement of the water quality, giving peace of mind for effective removal of organic contamination and potential regulatory non-compliance.
