bersonInLine^® UV disinfection systems

The bersonInLine^® uses bersonMultiWave^® lamps combining a wide spectrum of useful UV wavelengths with a very high energy output. This combination causes total and permanent deactivation of micro-organisms, avoiding photoreactivation.

The compact size and high energy output of the bersonMultiWave^® lamps reduces the size of the irradiation chamber and quantity of lamps drastically. The "in-line" construction results in a very low headloss and small foot-print compared to conventional medium- and low-pressure UV systems.

Conventional low-pressure lamps only damage the DNA as a result of absorption of the monochromatic (254nm) wavelength. However, in general, microorganisms use a repair mechanism to get rid of UV damaged DNA.

Using bersonMultiWave^® lamps, with their broad band polychromatic spectrum, not only DNA is damaged but also other biomolecules are (in)direct influenced. This results in a different repair tendency compared to monochromatic low-pressure UV lamps.
