In many laboratories today, high-quality ultrapure water purification systems are standard equipment, essential for ensuring the accuracy and reproducibility of experiments. Within the ultrapure water purification process, UV lamps are widely regarded as vital “silent guardians.“

UV lamps serve two primary functions:

1. Decompose organic compounds in water to lower the Total Organic Carbon (TOC) levels.

2. Damage the genetic material (DNA and RNA) of bacteria and viruses in the water, preventing their multiplication and effectively disinfecting the water.

Traditional UV lamps primarily utilize mercury vapor discharge to generate ultraviolet light. Although effective, this technology raises environmental concerns associated with mercury contamination.

• The Hazards of Mercury: Mercury is a highly toxic heavy metal. If released into the environment, it can lead to long-term contamination of soil and water sources.
• Waste Disposal Challenges: The improper disposal of mercury-containing lamps results in the ongoing release of mercury, which poses a significant threat to the environment.

With the growing global awareness of environmental issues, regulations like the Minamata Convention on Mercury have started to limit the use of mercury.

In the water purification industry, mercury-free UV lamp technology has emerged as a promising alternative. These lamps utilize technologies such as LED and xenon excitation to emit UV light, thereby eliminating the need for mercury.

Compared to traditional mercury vapor UV lamps, mercury-free UV lamps offer several advantages:

· Safe and Environmentally Friendly: By eliminating mercury, we mitigate the risk of environmental pollution at its source.

· Highly Efficient: Precisely emits the required wavelengths, resulting in high energy utilization and an extended lifespan.

· Instant Start-Up: Begin operations swiftly without any delay, achieving an operational state in no time.

· Assured Performance: The intensity of the UV light is more consistent, ensuring reliable oxidation and disinfection effects.

· Low Running Cost: The maintenance-free design results in reduced operating expenses.

In response to the increasing global emphasis on ecological civilization, the RephiLe team has consistently prioritized technological innovation in environmentally friendly laboratory water purification products, to enhance its industrial competitiveness in the green and sustainable sector.

Currently, RephiLe has introduced a range of laboratory pure water and ultrapure water purification systems equipped with mercury-free UV lamps, such as Genie, Large Genie, NuZar, etc.. These systems provide users with safe, reliable, and environmentally friendly pure water solutions that align with RephiLe’s sustainability goals. The Genie laboratory water purification systems and Super-Genie water purification workstation series both utilize 265nm UVC LED mercury-free disinfection technology.
