LED UV-C Systems leads the charge in chemical-free water treatment with UV-C LED technology for effective Legionella control and water disinfection.
LED UV-C Systems Ltd is a leading UK-based specialist in advanced LED Ultraviolet (UV) water disinfection solutions, delivering effective, chemical-free water treatment methods for potable water, wastewater, HVAC, and industrial process systems.
Recognised for its expertise in Legionella control, LED UV-C Systems provides state-of-the-art UV-C LED disinfection technology as a modern, safe, and sustainable alternative to traditional mercury-based UV lamps and chemical disinfectants.
Research interests and applications
LED UV-C Systems Ltd actively contributes to advancing UV-C LED technology adoption in the UK and Ireland, particularly in applications critical to public health and environmental sustainability. Key applications include:
Legionella control
Compliance with the UK Health and Safety Executive guidelines (HSG 274 Parts 1, 2 & 3) and Approved Code of Practice (ACoP L8) is central to LED UV-C Systems’ approach.
UV-C LED technology offers an efficient and chemical-free method to mitigate Legionella risks, particularly in cooling towers, potable water systems, and critical facilities like hospitals, care homes, hotels, leisure centres and data centres.
Global application cases
Proven internationally, LED UV technology has been validated through high-profile installations:
- Dalhousie University, Canada: Demonstrated effective wastewater disinfection, matching mercury lamp performance without mercury’s environmental risks. This research highlighted potential significant energy savings and reduced maintenance costs.
- Norway: Municipal drinking water installation highlights scalability and mercury-free compliance ahead of EU mercury restrictions, illustrating the technology’s adaptability in diverse environmental conditions.
- Las Vegas Valley Water, USA: UV-C LED systems validated in large-scale potable water disinfection, offering simplified maintenance, reduced downtime, safer handling, and clear operational advantages over mercury lamps.
In the UK and Ireland, momentum is growing for UV-C LED adoption, particularly in the food and beverage sector, with imminent large-scale projects reflecting industry confidence in LED UV solutions. These installations serve as pivotal case studies, demonstrating the practical advantages and reliability of LED UV systems.
Commercial and municipal flow rates with Kilo and Tera Systems
LED UV-C Systems Ltd also provides larger-scale UV-C LED disinfection solutions through the Kilo and Tera systems, which are capable of meeting substantial commercial and municipal flow rate requirements.
These robust systems are designed for higher-capacity applications, including municipal water treatment plants, industrial process water, beverage manufacturing, and large-scale building complexes. With installations already successfully operating in Europe and the USA, these solutions underline the potential for extensive, mercury-free UV-C LED disinfection across diverse large-scale settings.
OEM integration
LED UV-C Systems specialises in integrating compact UV-C LED units (e.g., PearlAqua Micro and Deca 30C) within OEM products. These compact, versatile units suit a range of industrial, medical, and consumer water dispensing applications and specialist sectors, enhancing safety, reducing maintenance burdens, and enabling mercury-free disinfection.
Benefits of UV-C LED disinfection
LED UV technology offers significant operational and environmental advantages:
- Mercury-free & environmentally safe: Eliminates hazardous mercury handling, reduces environmental impact, and aligns with global environmental regulations and future-proofing strategies.
- Energy efficient: Instant activation, dynamic power control, and significantly lower energy consumption in dynamic flow conditions compared to mercury lamps, directly translating to lower operational costs.
- Minimal maintenance: No fragile lamps to replace, longer operational life, fewer interruptions, lower water-facing operating temperatures and substantially reduced downtime.
- Enhanced safety: Safer operation and maintenance processes without handling fragile, mercury-containing lamps.
By harnessing these benefits, LED UV-C Systems Ltd is at the forefront of transforming water disinfection practices and enhancing public health, safety, and environmental sustainability across the UK and Ireland.
