Calgon Carbon - Model C³500 -Ultraviolet Disinfection System
The C3500 open channel series is an advanced, cost effective solution for the ultraviolet disinfection of wastewater using high powered (500W), low-pressure lamps. Calgon Carbon designed the C3500 open channel, parallel flow ultraviolet disinfection series to meet the demands of treatment plant operators with simple operation and maintenance. The C3500 allows plant operators to eliminate chlorine usage, which eliminates the risks associated with chemical handling, while improving effluent quality.
The C3500 can be built to treat the flows of most open channel wastewater streams from medium- to large-sized wastewater treatment plants. The C3500 is also capable of disinfecting combined sewer overflows (CSO), sanitary sewer overflows (SSO), and reuse waters. The modular design allows for easy expansion as plant capacity increases.
The C3500 can be equipped with simple manual controls or sophisticated control systems based on customer requirements. The UV System includes: lamp racks, power distribution center, automatic level control device, automatic cleaning system, and all necessary interconnecting cables. It is designed for simple installation and trouble-free operation throughout the life of the system. The C3500 is designed to operate at ambient air temperatures ranging from 14°-104°F (-10°- 40°C) with 5-95% relative humidity (non-condensing). System options are available for conditions outside of this range.
