Ultraviolet Water Sterilizers - Keep Liquid Storage Tanks Safe
Because of their warm, moist environment and accompanying condensation, liquid sugar, syrup and water storage tanks are ideal breeding grounds for bacteria, mold and yeast. American Ultraviolet has specifically designed the LTC, BT and SC-4 Series of Ultraviolet Germicidal Fixtures to disinfect air in the headspace of storage tanks, and in storage tank vents, therefore overcoming problems on several levels. All three series of ultraviolet water sterilizers use a combination of a water UV filter, water UV light, and bl
owers to maximize protection, eliminate condensation and remove 99.97% of harmful airborne microorganisms. Specifically, positive pressure, provided by the blower, works to eliminate condensation; while the UVC lamps and filters ensure that incoming air is free of airborne microorganisms that cause mold and bacterial growth. The UVC dosage in the BT series even meets, or exceeds, the EPA-required UVC dosage for potable drinking water.
Ultraviolet Germicidal Fixtures from American Ultraviolet “scramble” the DNA of mold spores, yeast and bacteria to render them sterile, and effectively dead. UVC is the ideal solution for liquid storage tank applications because it has no effect on the taste, color or odor of the liquid. In fact, it neither adds nor removes anything from the liquid sugar, syrup or water.
Standard liquid sugar, syrup and water treatment UV fixtures from American Ultraviolet are designed to be remote, or mounted on the outside of storage tanks, removing any concerns about broken lamps or electrical components being introduced into the product. Because of an extensive array of available options, we can also provide custom equipment for unique applications, and when more stringent sterilization/disinfection requirements are necessary.

Prolonged, direct exposure to UV-C light can cause temporary skin redness and eye irritation, but does not cause skin cancer or cataracts. American Ultraviolet Company systems are designed with safety in mind and, when properly installed by a professional contractor, do not allow exposure to UV irradiation and allow for safe operation and maintenance.
