ULTRAAQUA · OPEN CHANNEL UV DISINFECTION FOR AQUACULTURE AND CORROSIVE WATER
OPEN CHANNEL (PP) Series
Non-corrosive polypropylene lamp modules for open channels in aquaculture, saline and other corrosive water.
Pricing on request.
Overview
The OPEN CHANNEL (PP) series brings open channel UV disinfection to saline and corrosive water. Its lamp modules are made from UV-stabilised polypropylene, which resists temperature changes, chemicals and salts. This makes the series a strong fit for intensive aquaculture, including recirculating (RAS) and flow-through systems where species are reared in salt water.
The module frame is available in a wide choice of widths and depths to suit virtually any channel. Routine maintenance is carried out from a dry top compartment, without lifting the module out of the water.
Ozone UV Solutions supplies OPEN CHANNEL (PP) systems as an authorised ULTRAAQUA reseller and supports them locally: from sizing and installation through commissioning, servicing, lamps and spare parts.
