Ultraviolet technology is a non-chemical approach to disinfection. In this method of disinfection, nothing is added which makes this process simple, inexpensive and requires very low maintenance. UV-C disinfection has the benefit of being both efficient and one the most energy effective methods of sterilisation.
UV-C light is germicidal and operates most efficiently at a wavelength of 250 – 260 nanometers. It has a photolytic effect whereby the radiation destroys or inactivates the microorganism so that it can no longer multiply. Unlike other techniques, UV-C photolysis rarely produces potentially dangerous by-products.
