Berson, The Netherlands, is launching its new Cyclops UV disinfection system at the Aquatech exhibition, to be held from 1-4 November 2011 in Amsterdam. The compact, single-ended UV system has a 35% smaller footprint than Berson's larger InLine UV systems. This allows it to be installed in tight spaces or where piping is mounted close to a wall, such as ground water treatment stations or mobile disinfection units.
The single-ended design also means the Cyclops is operator-friendly and can be maintained without requiring any tools: changing a UV lamp takes just two minutes; replacing a quartz tube only takes five minutes; while replacing the entire interior (including the wiper) can be completed in only 15 minutes.
Instead of using screws, all connections utilise snap connectors, while high-pressure wing nuts replace conventional nuts, allowing hand-tightening. Both of these features simplify and speed up routine maintenance. In addition, the wiper is not fitted with a magnet, which prevents iron accumulation. Instead of using a magnet, the wiper has a position indicator sensor mounted on the outside.
A Cyclops 1000+ IL model will be on show at Berson's booth (Hall 1, Booth 01.218).
