Quadron™ UV Series

SUSTAINABLE UV DISINFECTION WITH MINIMUM FOOTPRINT

 Exceeding Reliability,
Reducing Footprint
Xylem’s Wedeco Quadron is the treatment experts’
choice when looking for a proven UV disinfection
solution with minimum footprint. Its compact
shape due to powerful medium pressure UV
lamps and unique hydraulic design features allow
a flexible installation for all site conditions. The
disinfection performance is guaranteed by the
most complete validation according to UVDGM*
and DVGW** certification.

in two validated performance
approaches:

• For applications where

certainty of dose delivery is
paramount by using quartz
sleeves that block low UV
wavelengths (as required for
DVGW certification today).
This is considered as a future
option for the UVDGM.

• For maximum possible

treated flow by using sleeves
that allow all wavelengths to

Efficient Operation
Through Superior Design

Easy Fit to Local Conditions

Fieldbus network control is used to transfer all sensor signals to
the control cabinet. This considerably reduces the wiring work
and makes the installation less susceptible to electrical
interference signals.

All fittings are arranged along one side to allow close installation
with the system’s back to surrounding structures.

Reduced Maintenance Costs

UV lamps and sensors are accessible from one side and can be
replaced quickly and easily without emptying the reactor.

A service hatch enables work to be carried out inside the system

without dismantling the system from the pipe work.

The automatic wiping system keeps the sleeves clean, eliminat-

ing manual cleaning effort and enabling all UV light to enter the
water for peak efficiency. The wiping system is chemical free with
no need to store and refill chemicals.

 Reduced Operational Costs
The electronic ballasts are opti-
mized to the Multiray™ medium
pressure UV lamps ensuring
the highest level of operational
safety and long lamp life.

The UV power of the lamps is

continuously adjustable from
30-100% with a guaranteed
lamp life of more than 8,000 hours. The combination of longer
lamp life and minimized power consumption results in reduced
operating costs.

Water disinfection through the use

of UV technology is the process of
inactivating microorganisms due to
Quadron 3000
photo oxidation of the organism’s
DNA. The UV radiation alters the DNA
in the cells of the microorganisms and
stops their ability to reproduce. More
than 99.99% of all pathogens can be
rendered harmless in a fraction of a
second.

There are certain aspects that need

to be considered specifically when
designing a medium pressure
UV system for drinking water
works, mainly caused by the low
wavelengths (below 240 nm).

UV system is right for you.
