It is necessary to disinfect water in order to destroy (biocid effect) or stop the growth (biostatic effect) of micro-organisms such as bacteriae, algae, viruses, yeast and mildew.

Injection of products

Disinfectant products such as chlorine or ozone can be injected into water.

The main advantage of the process is the treatment's persistence, i.e water that is treated this way keeps disinfectant features for some time, which allows, to a certain extent, absorbing further contamination and disinfecting the materials being in contact with it.

Ultraviolet management

Disinfection process with radiations emitted by mercury vapour lamps.

Ultraviolet disinfection has no persistent effect which means that its disinfectant effect doesn’t last.

Water that is purified this way has no purifying action on its environment and is not protected against further pollution.

However, the main advantage of this process is that no additive is brought to water and thus there is no change in taste and smell.
