Early Retrofit Benefits Of Open-Channel UV Wastewater Treatment Systems

For wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) operations concerned about aging UV treatment systems, replacing UV equipment near the end of expected service life does not have to be an all-or-nothing decision. Retrofit options offer ways to improve performance and add up to 20 years of added operation time without significant infrastructure overhaul and at lower price commitments. Next-generation UV systems are offering better business options, including efficiency upgrades capable of being retrofitted with existing UV system infrastructure. Retrofitting compatible UV systems that are nearing the end of their effective equipment life -- instead of replacing them entirely -- can offer multifaceted efficiencies and economies. 

Here’s how wastewater treatment plants using UV technology can capitalize on retrofit options and what they can expect from them.
