Overview :
ATLANTIUM develops and provides innovative water disinfection solutions that help businesses and municipalities build, expand and operate water-intensive processes. ATLANTIUM''s field-proven solutions have taken UV water disinfection to levels never before attained. ATLANTIUM does this through a cost effective, environmentally friendly process that delivers unprecedented microbe inactivation, at industrial and municipal water flow rates.
ATLANTIUM developed an entirely new UV system that puts an advanced UV source outside the flow of the water. In order to achieve effective inactivation the ATLANTIUM system uses a quartz tube as its reactor and bombards the flowing water with homogeneous dosages of UV radiation. Using the same principle as fiber optic technology, quartz walls of the tube reflect the UV light so it reaches every drop of water effectively. This method actively eliminates all of the drawbacks of existing UV technology. By taking the UV source out of the water and projecting it into the quartz chamber, ATLANTIUM''s engineers are able to supply homogeneous distribution of the UV rays, eliminate the local heating and thus the scale and fouling, as well as the need for brushes to clean the chamber. Controlling the temperature of the external UV lamp (not possible when the lamp is in the water) helps control the power needed by the light source and reduce operating and maintenance costs.
ATLANTIUM’s Hydro-Optic Disinfection (HOD) technology provides innovative water disinfection solutions. HOD solutions use a cost effective and environmentally friendly process that delivers unprecedented microbe inactivation, at industrial and municipal water flow rates.
In various tests conducted by the company using different species of microbes, spores and other microscopic life forms, the system was able to inactivate water born organisms four orders of magnitude more effectively then existing UV systems, meaning that on average only one in 10,000,000 organisms escaped inactivation. (Measuring such small numbers itself can be difficult, and is generally considered “total kill”) This superior performance combined with the system’s ability to disinfect about 1 million gallons of water a day (approximately 150 cubic meter an hour) while consuming only 2.5 kW·h, turns the ATLANTIUM system into one of the most efficient and cost effective systems in the world.
Founded in 2003, ATLANTIUM is uniquely positioned to leverage world-class expertise in both water technology and high-tech development. The Company works with leading industry players around the world, enabling it to meet the needs of global industries and local municipalities.
