Preliminary research announced by BersonUV-techniek, of Netherlands, may have consequences for operators of low-pressure UV disinfection systems. If, following exposure to low-pressure UV lamps, microorganisms are capable of recovering, operators need to seriously consider upgrading to medium-pressure technology. By providing permanent microbial deactivation, medium-pressure UV offers peace of mind. Applications affected by these findings include municipal drinking water, bottled water, wastewater, among others.
