The demand has just exploded, and it&#8217;s not slowing down. We&#8217;re going to tell you how this industry will keep growing, what&#8217;s driving it, and where it&#8217;s most wanted. Plus, we&#8217;ll cover the basics of UV disinfection, its benefits, and which products are right for your water purification needs.<\/span>\\\\n\\\\n<b>Why It&#8217;s Growing So Fast<\/b>\\\\n\\\\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The biggest reason UV disinfection equipment is taking off? People are moving away from chlorine. We&#8217;re all more aware now of the health risks that come with chemical-based disinfection. Also, the healthcare and chemical industries are growing quickly, which plays a part. Governments are stepping up, too, promising clean, naturally treated water for everyone.<\/span>\\\\n\\\\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">People also want to avoid nasty bugs like Cryptosporidium, which causes diarrhea and stomach problems, and Giardia, caused by protozoan parasites. That&#8217;s why combining ozone with UV disinfection is becoming a popular, effective solution.<\/span>\\\\n\\\\n<b>A Game-Changer: The UV LED<\/b>\\\\n\\\\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The UV Light Emitting Diode, or LED, is really the heart of the UV disinfection equipment market. It arrived in 2012 and quickly became popular because it&#8217;s small and uses less energy. It&#8217;s also way more affordable than old-school UV lamps. Think about it: an LED costs just $279 a year, while a traditional lamp can run you $4,562 annually. That&#8217;s a huge difference!<\/span>\\\\n\\\\n<b>Different Kinds of UV Rays<\/b>\\\\n\\\\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are three main types of UV rays:<\/span>\\\\n<\/p>\n<ul>\\n \\t<\/p>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ultraviolet A (UVA) &#8211; 400-315 nanometer wavelengths. We use it in air-conditioning, to spot fake money, purify air, and even disinfect dishwater.<\/span><\/li>\n<p>\\n \\t<\/p>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ultraviolet B (UVB) &#8211; 315-280 nanometer wavelengths. You&#8217;ll find this one in botany and zoology studies, among other things.<\/span><\/li>\n<p>\\n \\t<\/p>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ultraviolet C (UVC) &#8211; 280-100 nanometer wavelengths. This is the one we use to disinfect water, air, and just about any surface or object.<\/span><\/li>\n<p>\\n<\/ul>\n<p>\\n<b>Benefits of UV Disinfection<\/b>\\\\n\\\\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Here&#8217;s why UV Disinfection is so great:<\/span>\\\\n<\/p>\n<ul>\\n \\t<\/p>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It&#8217;s easy and cheap to maintain and run.<\/span><\/li>\n<p>\\n \\t<\/p>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">No leftover residue.<\/span><\/li>\n<p>\\n \\t<\/p>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Quick contact purification, just 6-10 seconds of treatment time.<\/span><\/li>\n<p>\\n \\t<\/p>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Works for water, air, surfaces, food, and drinks.<\/span><\/li>\n<p>\\n \\t<\/p>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It&#8217;s natural, UV is nature&#8217;s own way to purify.<\/span><\/li>\n<p>\\n \\t<\/p>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Doesn&#8217;t create toxic byproducts.<\/span><\/li>\n<p>\\n \\t<\/p>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Effective against all known microorganisms.<\/span><\/li>\n<p>\\n \\t<\/p>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">No chemicals involved, period.<\/span><\/li>\n<p>\\n<\/ul>\n<p>\\n<b>The Market Value<\/b>\\\\n\\\\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A study called &#8220;Global Market Study on UV Disinfection Equipment: Waste Water Segment to Witness Highest Growth by 2019&#8221; showed that this market was worth $993.4 million in 2012. Experts thought it would hit $2.5 billion by 2019, growing at a rate of 14.1 percent from 2013-2019.<\/span>\\\\n\\\\n<b>Big Investments Coming<\/b>\\\\n\\\\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Western European countries like France, Spain, and the U.K. were expected to put $123.8 billion into water network facilities and drinking water treatment by 2017. This includes fixing up old wastewater treatment plants and building new ones.<\/span>\\\\n\\\\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Older disinfection equipment might soon get replaced by newer methods like ozonation and UV. Most prefer UV because it&#8217;s the cheapest option out there.<\/span>\\\\n\\\\n<b>Who&#8217;s Leading Global Sales?<\/b>\\\\n\\\\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Back in 2012, North America was the top buyer of UV disinfection equipment, followed by Asia Pacific and Europe. We expect North America to stay in the lead, thanks to the growing demands of the healthcare industry and the need for better water treatment tech.<\/span>\\\\n\\\\n<b>What&#8217;s the Best UV Disinfection Product for Water Purification?<\/b>\\\\n\\\\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you&#8217;re looking to buy a UV disinfection product for water purification, you should really trust the technology from AMPAC USA.
