Product Overview

Microwave Ultraviolet Oxidation Equipment represents a significant evolution in pollution control and sterilization technology. Unlike traditional UV systems that rely on electrodes (lamps), this system utilizes microwave energy to excite electrodeless lamps, generating high-intensity ultraviolet light and ozone simultaneously.

This technology creates a “synergistic oxidation” environment where microwave fields, UV radiation, ozone, and catalysts (such as TiO₂) work together to decompose complex pollutants. It is highly effective for industrial waste gas (VOC) treatment, wastewater purification, and high-speed sterilization. The electrodeless design eliminates the primary failure point of traditional UV systems, offering significantly longer lifespans and stability in harsh industrial environments.

Key Advantages

• Electrodeless Longevity: The absence of electrodes prevents erosion and blackening, extending the lifespan of the UV source to 60,000+ hours (compared to <6,000 hours for traditional lamps).
• Synergistic Efficiency: The combination of microwave energy (thermal/biological effects), UV photolysis (bond breaking), and ozone oxidation (chemical attack) results in faster reaction rates and higher destruction efficiency.
• Dual-Wavelength Action: Utilizes specific wavelengths (e.g., 185nm for ozone generation and 254nm for photolysis/bond breaking) to target a broad spectrum of contaminants.
• Low Maintenance: “Plug and play” operation with no consumable lamps to change frequently, reducing operational expenditure (OPEX).

Technical Specifications

Applications

1. Industrial Waste Gas Treatment (VOC & Odor Control)

• Principle: High-energy microwave UV lamps break the molecular bonds of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) like benzene, toluene, and xylene. Simultaneously, 185nm UV generates ozone, which oxidizes these compounds into CO₂ and H₂O.
• Use Cases: Chemical plants, pharmaceutical factories, painting workshops, and food processing facilities. It is particularly effective for low-concentration, high-volume malodorous gases (H₂S, Mercaptans)，Wastewater deodorization，Garbage deodorization.
• Catalyst Integration: Often paired with TiO₂ photocatalysts to further enhance oxidation rates and ensure complete mineralization of pollutants.

2. Wastewater Treatment (Advanced Oxidation)

• Principle: The system acts as a powerful Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP). Microwaves accelerate the reaction kinetics, while UV and ozone generate hydroxyl radicals (·OH) to degrade refractory organic pollutants (COD/BOD).
• Use Cases: Treatment of landfill leachate, pharmaceutical wastewater, and textile dyeing effluents. It is also used for decolorization and the removal of specific toxins like phenols and cyanide.

3. Sterilization & Disinfection

• Principle: The equipment utilizes the germicidal properties of 254nm UV, the cell-wall oxidizing power of ozone, and the thermal effects of microwaves to destroy bacteria, viruses, and spores.
• Use Cases:
  • Drinking Water: High-speed disinfection without chemical residues (bromate-free).
  • Medical/Food: Surface sterilization of packaging or equipment.
  • HVAC: Integration into air handling units to prevent mold and bacterial growth (Legionella control).

Types of Microwave UV Equipment

1. Microwave Electrodeless UV Gas Purifiers: Designed for air streams, featuring corrosion-resistant chambers (304/316 Stainless Steel) and dust pre-filters to protect the lamps.
2. Microwave UV Water Reactors: Submerged or flow-through systems where microwave antennas are protected by non-absorbing sleeves (e.g., PTFE or ceramic) to transmit energy into the water.
3. Microwave Plasma Catalysts: Specialized units that use microwave energy to generate low-temperature plasma, activating catalysts for specific chemical synthesis or destruction tasks.

Packaging & Storage

• Configuration: Skid-mounted or modular cabinet designs.
• Components: Includes microwave generators, waveguide transmission systems, electrodeless UV lamps (quartz), reaction chambers, and ozone destruct units (for tail gas).
• Storage: Store in a dry environment. Microwave generators (magnetrons) are sensitive to humidity and should be kept in climate-controlled storage if not installed immediately.
