ULTRAAQUA · AQUACULTURE UV DISINFECTION
ULTRABARRIER™ Series
UV disinfection for aquaculture intake and recirculation water. Available in stainless steel (SS) and non-corrosive polypropylene (PP) reactors.
Pricing on request.
Overview
The ULTRABARRIER™ series is designed to stop pathogens at the point where water enters a farm. Installed on intake and recirculation lines, it treats the full flow with UV-C light before the water reaches tanks, hatcheries or smolt units, without adding chemicals or changing water chemistry.
Ozone UV Solutions supplies ULTRABARRIER™ systems as an authorised ULTRAAQUA reseller and supports them locally: from sizing and installation through commissioning, servicing, lamps and spare parts.
Key features
- Approved by the Norwegian Veterinary Institute (NVI) for aquaculture intake water disinfection
- Two reactor materials: electropolished SS316L, or UV-stabilised polypropylene for saline and corrosive water
- ULTRATHERM low-pressure high-output amalgam lamps, 350 W, with a rated life of 16,000 hours
- Two ÖNORM M5873-certified UV intensity sensors and automatic dose pacing (50–100% power)
- Automatic ULTRAWIPER™ quartz sleeve cleaning and single-ended access for maintenance without special tools
- Siemens PLC with 7" touchscreen, data logging and Modbus TCP/IP or PROFINET for SCADA integration
Typical applications
- Intake water disinfection for land-based fish farms, hatcheries and smolt facilities
- Recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS)
- Salmon and other finfish, shrimp and prawn farming, including warm and saline water (PP reactors)
