The demand for clean water is growing worldwide. With high-energy UV radiation, contaminated water can be treated without chemicals like chlorine or ozone. Special UV lamps destroy micro-organisms such as bacteria, viruses, parasites or fungi and break down industrial chemicals that are harmful to health. With UV light, it is also possible to inactivate Giardia and Cryptosporidium. Heraeus offers all lamp technologies for commercial use and has pioneered amalgam lamp technology. The Heraeus GoldSpot amalgam lamps are widely recognized as the marketleading products - above all because of their long operating lives and their unique Longlife technology.
