USFilter and Service Systems announce marketing alliance for UV disinfection
Joe Millen, executive vice president of USFilter, said the alliance will ensure that USFilter remains a leader in this segment of the water and wastewater treatment industry. "The Wallace & Tiernan Products group has 85 years of continued service to its customers for the supply of disinfection equipment applying various technologies," Millen said. "With UV disinfection systems, we will be even better positioned to serve an evolving market need."
According to Ken Fielding, Service Systems president and CEO, the alliance gives Service Systems access to an extensive sales and distribution network associated with the world's premier water and wastewater company. "With these resources, we will be poised to rapidly expand our business," he added.
USFilter has known about ultraviolet disinfection for some time and has been actively searching for a UV disinfection technology to enhance its product and service offerings. Ultra Guard apparently fits the bill through a number of technical innovations:
- Fewer lamps to treat a given flow
- Enhanced hydraulics resulting in consistent high quality disinfection
- Operational ease and flexibility with its modular single lamp reactors
- Automatic dose pacing and lamp wiping for unattended operation
- Internet-enabled for centralized remote system control and monitoring
- Potable water disinfection capability
- Higher lamp and hydraulic efficiency allowing for cost effective disinfection of murky waters, even combined sewer overflows
- Consummation of the alliance is subject to negotiation and execution of definitive agreements and other customary conditions.
