254 nm In-Line Disinfection for Municipal & Process Water
4 Connection Forms · 2–600 m³/h · ≥99% Kill Rate
KCF closed-vessel sterilizers disinfect water inside a polished 304/316L pressure reactor. Closed-vessel UV suits small-to-medium flows and any duty where pressure must be maintained and open channels are impractical; lamps can be mounted parallel or perpendicular to the flow — parallel layouts reduce head loss, perpendicular layouts raise turbulence and disinfection efficiency.
Five product forms cover 2–600 m³/h: KCF-UV/A threaded monolithic (3–30 m³/h), KCF-UV/B flanged split, KCF-UV/C split with automatic wiping, and KCF-UV/D built-in sight-glass reactors (2–50 m³/h) listed in their own section below.
Water enters the reactor and flows around the germicidal lamp held in a high-transmission quartz sleeve. 254 nm UV damages microbial DNA/RNA within seconds. The basic configuration: UV lamp, high-transmission quartz sleeve, electronic ballast, 304/316L stainless reactor, and a control box with hour-runner and alarm indication; sight port and manual or automatic wiping are optional.

The split form with automatic wiping keeps quartz sleeves clean online — the right choice for duty where fouling is expected. Basic configuration: UV lamp, high-transmission quartz sleeve, electronic ballast, 304/316L reactor, control box (hour-runner, alarm lamp) and automatic cleaning. 20–600 m³/h.

Small flows suit the threaded monolithic KCF-UV/A; larger or fouling-prone duties take the flanged KCF-UV/B or the auto-wiping KCF-UV/C.
No. UV is chemical-free and leaves no residue, taste or color.
