UV-oxidization chamber
UV light energy at 185 nm creates ozone. The 254 nm wavelengths energy reacts
with the ozone and produces hydroxyl radicals (OH). These radicals oxidize the
organic material in the water to carbon dioxide, water and some by-products like
hydrogen peroxide. These by-products are then removed by the activated carbon
material and electronics grade mixed bed resin.
