Violet Defense, a disinfection technology firm, has partnered with ecoSPEARS, a company specialising in environmental technology, to offer a solution to improve clean water technology. Violet Defense’s patented UV technology has been paired with ecoSPEARS’ ecoCube to destroy Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB’s) and other persistent toxins in water.
PCBs are one of the most widespread contaminants in the world. Violet Defense’s new technology is helping to redefine toxin destruction by utilising UV Advanced Oxidation Processes (UVAOP) to degrade and destroy these PCBs in groundwater, stormwater and wastewater.
Violet Defense CEO, Terrance Berland said: “We are incredibly excited to be working with ecoSPEARS to incorporate our technology to provide safer and cleaner groundwater using an efficient system that solves many common problems associated with traditional water decontamination methods. This exciting step for Violet Defense means that we can successfully utilize our patented UV technology to provide cleaner water, air and surfaces throughout the world.”
UV light has long been used for water disinfection; however, UV lenses and quartz protection sleeves tend to foul over time which reduces efficiency over the long-term and drives higher maintenance costs as the lenses and quartz sleeves must be cleaned or replaced frequently. This new technology solves that problem as it combines a specialised ultraviolet transmissive lens, in direct contact with the UV light source, which will not foul or degrade over time.
ecoSPEARS CEO, Serg Albino said: “The ecoSPEARS team is proud to partner with Violet Defense to provide safe and reliable groundwater for a better environment and healthier communities. Traditional groundwater remediation methods are expensive and ineffective, but this innovative partnership makes it possible to provide a groundwater remediation method that’s both powerful and sustainable.”
