The quartz tube for sewage treatment is a core component made of quartz with high purity, high temperature resistance, and strong ultraviolet light transmission characteristics. Commonly used in UV disinfection modules, it destroys microbial DNA through 185/254nm UV radiation to achieve efficient sterilization; It can also be used as an advanced oxidation reactor to catalyze the generation of hydroxyl radicals under strong ultraviolet light, degrade recalcitrant organic matter, and improve effluent quality.

In the fields of industrial and municipal wastewater treatment, quartz tubes play an irreplaceable role as a key material due to their unique physical and chemical properties.

The core application of quartz tube in sewage treatment

Quartz tubes, especially transparent or milky white tubes made of high-purity silica, are mainly used in sewage treatment processes that require high-intensity ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, namely ultraviolet disinfection systems.

1. As a protective sleeve for UV disinfection lamps: In a closed UV disinfection reactor, quartz tube is used as the direct outer cover of the UV lamp to isolate the lamp from the wastewater to be treated.

2. Ensure efficient transmission of ultraviolet light: Its core function is that high-quality quartz glass has a very high transmittance (usually up to 90% or more) for ultraviolet light (especially the 253.7nm sterilization UVC band), far higher than ordinary glass. This ensures that ultraviolet energy can penetrate the tube wall to the maximum extent and enter the water, effectively killing bacteria, viruses, and other pathogenic microorganisms in the water.

The product advantages of quartz tubes: why is it an ideal choice?

Choosing high-quality quartz tubes is a prerequisite for ensuring the efficient and stable operation of the entire UV disinfection system. Its advantages are mainly reflected in:

-Extremely high UV transmittance: ensuring maximum disinfection efficiency and reducing energy consumption.

-Excellent thermal stability: able to withstand high temperatures and rapid changes in water temperature generated during UV lamp operation, without cracking or deformation.

-Excellent corrosion resistance: able to resist the erosion of chloride ions, acidic and alkaline chemicals, and other corrosive substances in sewage, with a long service life.

-High mechanical strength and cleanliness: The surface is smooth, not prone to scaling, reduces maintenance frequency, and can withstand certain water flow pressure.

-Low coefficient of expansion: Stable in size and good sealing performance in alternating cold and hot environments, preventing sewage from infiltrating and damaging UV lamps.

What sewage treatment problems can quartz tubes solve?

1. Solve the problem of chemical residues: Compared with chemical disinfection methods such as chlorine gas, UV disinfection is a physical sterilization method with no secondary pollution, avoiding the production of harmful disinfection by-products. Quartz tube is a key carrier for achieving this environmentally friendly process.

2. Improve disinfection efficiency and stability: High transmittance directly enhances the sterilization effect per unit energy consumption, ensuring stable and up to standard effluent quality.

3. Reduce long-term operating costs: Its excellent durability and anti scaling properties significantly reduce the frequency and cost of system downtime, cleaning, and component replacement.

4. Coping with harsh water quality environments: In the treatment of complex and highly corrosive industrial wastewater, the chemical inertness of quartz tubes ensures the reliability of the system under harsh working conditions.

Customer real case (anonymous)

Our European client is responsible for an upgrade project of a large municipal sewage treatment plant. The original UV system had unstable disinfection effects due to severe scaling and rapid decrease in transmittance of the quartz sleeve, and required manual cleaning every 3-4 months, resulting in high maintenance costs.

After switching to the anti scaling coating quartz tube we provided, the situation was significantly improved:

-Improved disinfection stability: UV output intensity remains stable, and indicators such as fecal coliforms in effluent continue to meet standards.

-Extended maintenance cycle: The anti scaling properties of quartz tubes extend the cleaning and maintenance cycle from 3-4 months to over 12 months.

-Comprehensive cost reduction: significantly reduced downtime and manual cleaning costs, customers are very satisfied with the return on investment.
