De Nora launches new Sentinel^® UV disinfection system

MILAN (24 Sept. 2024) – Industrie De Nora, an Italian multinational company listed on the Euronext Milan, specialized in sustainable electrochemical technologies and in the emerging green hydrogen industry, is launching new developments for its Sentinel® UV disinfection system design to maximize operating expense savings, as well as overall efficiency. Based on more than 30 years of expertise and leadership in UV, the new electronic ballast design offers the most compact footprint on the market and optimizes lamp turndown to 30 percent for significant improvements in energy consumption, setting a new gold standard for complex contaminant treatment. 

The Sentinel line of UV systems is used for medium pressure applications, including drinking water and potable reuse. Reactor capacity ranges from 0.3 to 52 million gallons of treated water per day, made possible by high-output lamps with power densities ranging from four to 20 kilowatts per lamp. The electronic ballast is housed in a compact cabinet, and provides continuous calculation of UV setpoint to optimize dosing. 

As with all De Nora products, the design was engineered for ease of maintenance and operation, reinforcing the commitment to enhanced operational savings. It includes a dry well mount for simplified calibration and features several automated systems, including: a chemical-free Quickwipe cleaning system, emergency shut down, and a programmable logic controller (PLC)-based operation and control system.

Around the globe, Sentinel UV is trusted to provide more than 6 billion gallons of safe water per day, free of protozoa like cryptosporidium parvum and giardia lamblia, without the use of harmful chemicals and the formation of disinfection byproducts. Sentinel UV is DVGW certified, an internationally recognized standardization body for the water industry, and can be combined with an oxidant for advanced oxidation processes.

Product specifications and case studies will be showcased during a WEFTEC presentation at De Nora booth 2616 on Monday, Oct. 7 at 2:30 p.m.
