KALWAVE™ Water Disinfection is a water treatment system by Smith & Loveless Ltd. UK designed to inactivate and eliminate pathogens in water using combined UV and ultrasound technology. Delivers up to 99.9999% pathogen reduction, with high efficiency even in water with low UV transmittance and high solids. No mechanical or chemical cleaning is required, reducing maintenance and risk of contamination.

  • Water disinfection system using combined UV and ultrasound
  • Achieves up to 99.9999% pathogen inactivation
  • Maintains optimal UV transmittance with no residue build-up on quartz sleeves
  • No mechanical or chemical cleaning needed
  • Low energy use: 0.008kWh per 1m³ for drinking water, 0.02kWh per 1m³ for industrial or sewage effluent
  • Short exposure time: 5 seconds of combined treatment equals 30 seconds of UV alone
  • Reduces risk of microorganism reactivation during storage
  • Compact system size compared to conventional UV systems

Applications

  • Disinfection of drinking water, industrial water, and treated sewage effluent
