Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States

Calgon Carbon Corp.'s UV Technologies Division provides advanced oxidation processes (AOP) UV systems to the market. UV energy disrupts the DNA in viruses, bacteria, and protozoa, rendering them harmless. When combined in water with oxidizing agents such as hydrogen peroxide, UV light generates highly reactive radicals that oxidize organic contaminants, creating a cost-efficient treatment regimen. Compared to chemical treatment of water, UV technology is low-cost and environmentally friendly and eliminates the need to transport, store or handle toxic chemicals. It generates no DBPs, which further safeguards the environment and aquatic life.
