Suntec Environmental has introduced the LPX500, a high output, low pressure, parallel flow, modular UV system. The lamps use a rapid start configuration for maximum on/off performance and continuous heat for maximum dimming and energy conservation.
The company's patented ballast technology uses high frequency electronic ballasts to power each lamp and optimize system performance. The "cooled by configuration" design involves mounting the ballasts in the effluent stream, thereby eliminating the need for special cooling systems, enclosures or buildings. The system also features The Scrapper, a non-chemical automatic cleaning system.
Compact power distribution centers (PDC's) save space and use a modular design for maximum flexibility in meeting custom requirements. The PDC acts as a central location for system control, monitoring and alarming. It contains a control card and lamp rack control modules (LRCM) that provide power and indication for up to eight lamps. Remote/Local switches are located at each PDC for a choice of operating modes.
The LPX500 comes in open channel configurations that are suitable for medium to large wastewater treatment plants. In addition to new installations, systems can be retrofitted into existing effluent channels and chlorine-contact chambers. The equipment is sold complete with all necessary cables, controls, monitoring and alarm equipment, and is ready for installation and operation.
