Alfa Laval AOT 3F Advanced ultraviolet sterilizer for purifying drinking water Compact and robust, the Alfa Laval AOT 3F system effectively purifies water for safe drinking. Application Pure water is essential for life. It is also a finite and scarce resource. Demographic, economic and social drivers, such as population dynamics, global commerce and lifestyle choices, have a direct impact on the availability of pure water. While the definition of pure water varies depending on its application, the demand for purified water for residential and commercial use is constant. In manmade water systems, however, contaminants including microorganisms, virus and harmful bacteria, such as Legionella, thrive and multiply. To keep pace with demand for water free of contaminants, water in these systems must be purified – safely, naturally and cost-effectively. Advanced water purification The Alfa Laval AOT 3F is a water purification system based on Wallenius Advanced Oxidation Technology (AOT), which provides a microbiological barrier against harmful waterborne contaminants and pathogens, such as Legionella. This unique, chemical-free system produces radicals that safely and effectively sterilize and eliminate organisms in water. Compact, flexible and modular, the system easily adapts to the specific purification requirements of a broad range of applications at sea as well as ashore. It has also demonstrated the necessary biological and chemical e fficiency, and meets BRL K14010-1/01 regulations on Legionella in rinking water. d With its space-saving design, chemical-free technology and full automation, the Alfa Laval AOT 3F is the natural choice for cost-effective sustainable water purification. Operating principle The Alfa Laval AOT 3F treatment process is a patented form of advanced oxidation technology that imitates nature’s own water purification method. Designed for start-and-forget operation, the Alfa Laval AOT 3F is c hemical-free, fully automated and possible to start or stop at the push of a button. The process occurs within a closed chamber in which r adicals are generated through the use of ultraviolet light in combination with photo-catalytic semiconductor surfaces. These highly reactive, but short-lived, radicals cause the oxidation of microorganisms and organic and inorganic substances, rendering contaminants harmless safely and more effectively than through the use of conventional UV technology. The entire process occurs within a few milliseconds. No chemical substances are required or generated by the AOT process, and no toxic residuals are created.

■ Proven log 4 reduction of contaminants and log 5 Alfa Laval AOT 3F has been tested at Vitens laboratories in the Netherlands to effect a log 4 reduction of biologi- cal contaminants and chemical pollutants and a log 5 reduction of Legionella pneumophila inside amoeba. It provides highly effective UV disinfection of water Legionella in drinking water established by Dutch quality assurance agency KIWA. It has also been approved for use by CE/S, Lloyd's Register for marine drinking water, and the United Kingdom's Water Regulations Advisory ■ Flexible, compact installation Alfa Laval AOT 3F...
