Ultraviolet Disinfection
Ultraviolet disinfection is well-established as an effective treatment for water, process liquids and wastewater. The mechanics of the treatment are simple — specialised lamps emitting a specific range of ultraviolet light that is highly effective in disrupting the RNA and DNA structures of bacteria, viruses and protozoa causing rapid deactivation and disinfection.
The Challenge for Ultraviolet Treatment
Unfortunately, ultraviolet light intensity and its ability to disinfect drops off at a rapid exponential rate when it is radiated through water, and as water clarity decreases. Whilst ultraviolet treatments have been excellent for drinking water and high-clarity wastewater, conventional ultraviolet treatment products are much less effective in treating process and waste waters that have low Ultraviolet Transmittance (“UVT”).

Introducing the NovoLabs™ Supercritical UV™ disinfection system
Proven with Low Clarity Liquids to <1% UVT!
Until now, conventional ultraviolet disinfection systems have not been regarded as viable for liquids with UVT below ~40% for the simple reason that ultraviolet light struggles to transmit adequately through such liquids.
Because of its patented ultraviolet light delivery system capable of ensuring high ultraviolet light intensities are maintained throughout the liquid being treated, NovoLabs™ Supercritical UV™ disinfection system is a world-first solution for treating liquids with UVT as low as <1% in a single pass!
Developed at Massey University in New Zealand, the NovoLabs™ Supercritical UV™ disinfection system provides a breakthrough in ultraviolet disinfection technology for the effective treatment of process liquids and wastewaters.
Matt Sells, NovoLabs CEO explains how the system works.

Case Studies
Supercritical UV™ Disinfection of Viruses in Wastewater
Viruses in wastewater can pose significant risks to human health if not appropriately treated before being released into the environment. The effectiveness of a ultraviolet disinfection system to deactivate a virus depends on the virus type.
Supercritical UV™ Disinfection System Effectively Disinfects Primary Treated Meat Plant Effluent
A large meat processing plant in the South Island of New Zealand are investigating ultraviolet disinfection options for their wastewater treatment.
Side by Side Comparison with Conventional Ultraviolet Treatment
Novolabs™ Supercritical UV™ system was tested side by side with the existing submerged channel ultraviolet disinfection system which had been supplied by one of the world’s largest ultraviolet companies.
Supercritical UV™ Disinfection System is Highly Effective on Waste Stabilisation Pond Effluent
Waste stabilisation ponds are used in tens of thousands of applications around the globe. But while ponds continue to offer many advantages there is increasing need to upgrade treatment performance.
