WEDECO TAK 55
Wherever waste water can enter water used for bathing or drinking, or when waste water is to be recycled - e.g. in agriculture, targeted disinfection of the waste water is necessary. The modularly designed UV system WEDECO TAK 55 allows practically unlimited quantities of waste water to be disinfected - absolutely safely and energy-efficiently.
The UV system WEDECO TAK 55 is Xylem’s solution for safe, more environmentally friendly waste water disinfection. The philosophy behind WEDECO TAK 55 is absolutely reliable operation and objective performance for long-term deployment. The system has been validated according to standards recognised across the globe such as NWRI and US EPA.
The WEDECO TAK 55 UV system has been specially developed for the disinfection of waste water from clarification plant processes. Installed within the effluent channel, the modular, compact construction of the TAK plant allows for the treatment of practically unlimited flow quantities.
WEDECO TAK 55 lamp module
The WEDECO TAK 55 lamp modules stand out with their robust, hydraulically optimised design - designed for long-term use. The compact UV lamp arrangement allows for highly concentrated power in a very small space. The result is disinfection performance secured at all times even with larger volume flows and low UV transmission from the waste water.
Depending on local circumstances and performance requirements, both the entire TAK system and the arrangement of the individual UV lamp modules can be customised - the number and arrangement of the modules, number of lamps per module and the distance of the UV lamp from one another - just about every detail is taken into consideration with the client’s wishes being the focus.
The most energy efficient wastewater disinfection solution
Equipped with superior ECORAY® UV lamps, the WEDECO TAK 55 provides ultraviolet (UV-C) light more efficient than other UV systems. The lamps are powered by the latest electronic ballast technology and controlled by a highly selective calibrated UV intensity sensor. Based on the actual UV dose requirement, the lamp power setting is varied between 50 and 100%, resulting in the lowest power consumption possible.
The ballast cards are located in electrical enclosures to ensure optimum operating conditions and easy access at any time.
Fully-automatic preventive cleaning
Depending on the water quality, organic or inorganic deposits may form on the quartz protection tubes of the lamps, which limit the effects of the UV light. The fully-automatic wiping system eliminates this problem. The excellent cleaning performance has been confirmed by independent institutions and reduces the formation of deposits significantly.
The wiping system is equipped with specially designed PTFE wiper rings. They do not interrupt the disinfection process and clean without the addition of chemical additives. The continuously working wiper frequency can easily be adapted to the properties of the wastewater. A pneumatic drive system and the complete avoidance of chemicals in usage also contribute to making the deployment of the TAK system safe.
Intelligent electronics - optimally arranged
WEDECO TAK 55 Outdoor
A compact version of the TAK system designed for outdoor installation provides an alternative arrangement. The integration of the electronic ballast devices, control and power supply units and junction box into a compact stainless steel cabinet is its main feature. This allows the expenditure and effort for wiring the UV lamps to the ballast devices to be reduced.
The control cabinet unit is installed over the channel and connected directly with the UV modules. The TAK outdoor systems are especially suitable for small to medium-sized plants with limited space.
Validated in accordance with NWRI and US EPA
Whatever the disinfection performance demands - Xylem can demonstrate reliable and objective performance data for the entire dosage range for the WEDECO TAK 55. The system is validated in accordance with leading international standards such as US EPA and NWRI. Safe UV disinfection for a wide range of usage is officially guaranteed - from re-introduction into open waters to recycling for use in agriculture or drinking water supplies.
In special cases we offer the possibility of testing the UV disinfection on-site before making long-term investments. Our mobile pilot plants provide real, meaningful data while taking individual local circumstances into consideration.
Simple maintenance, less expenditure
Ease of maintenance was an important factor in the developer of WEDECO TAK 55. Ultimately, the success of a UV disinfection plant is particularly dependent on the length of maintenance intervals and the scope of the required repair work.
The use of state-of-the-art solutions such as optimised lamp modules, separately installed electronics and an effective wiping system has allowed maintenance expenditure to be reduced to a minimum.
Ease of access and the simple installation/dismantling of all components also contribute to the simple maintenance of the TAK system.
