ULTRAAQUA · OPEN CHANNEL UV DISINFECTION FOR WASTEWATER
OPEN CHANNEL VERTICAL Series
Modular open channel UV systems with vertical lamp banks and a sealed top compartment for service while submerged.
Pricing on request.
Overview
The VERTICAL series disinfects wastewater in open channels without chemicals. Its lamps stand vertically in a CFD-optimised cross-row layout, so every pathogen passing through the lamp bank is exposed to UV light while energy demand stays low.
The robust modular frame can be sized to virtually any channel width and depth, which makes the series well suited to retrofits, for example into former chlorination tanks. Lamps, quartz sleeves, wiper motor and UV sensors sit in a sealed top compartment, so routine maintenance is done while the system stays submerged.
Ozone UV Solutions supplies VERTICAL systems as an authorised ULTRAAQUA reseller and supports them locally: from sizing and installation through commissioning, servicing, lamps and spare parts.
Key features
- Vertical, CFD-optimised cross-row lamp layout for full pathogen exposure at low energy demand

- Integrated lifting mechanism; wall-mount installation available
- Automatic water level management for level variations of up to 300 mm (12 in)
- Automatic ULTRAWIPERâ„¢ cleaning of quartz sleeves and UV sensor, with automatic dose pacing
Typical applications
- Municipal and industrial wastewater disinfection
- Stormwater overflow (CSO) treatment
- Recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS)
