Silanna UV launches water dispenser disinfection tech

News
New 235nm UV-C LED design delivers clean water dispenser chamber

Australian semiconductor company Silanna UV has developed a UV disinfection application that uses 235nm UV-C LEDs to rapidly disinfect water dispensers, effectively eliminating bacteria and virus buildup.

The technology, called NozzleShield, is designed so that for greater efficacy, additional Far UV-C LEDs can be carefully positioned to enhance the disinfection of water dispenser nozzles, which are easily contaminated.

Many studies demonstrate the effectiveness of far UV-C against various pathogens, including SARS-CoV-2. Studies carried out at the University of Siena, Italy, in 2023, specifically confirmed the powerful biocidal disinfection properties of the 235nm UV-C output emitted by Silanna’s UV-C LEDs.

These tests showed the UV-C technology swiftly killing 99.9 percent to 99.99 percent of dangerous bacteria that commonly cause harm to humans – including E. Coli, S. Aureus and P. Aeruginosa.

These bacteria are often responsible for dangerous outbreaks of food poisoning and other infections.

Silanna will show the technology at Aquatech Amsterdam 2025, from March 11 to 14, 2025.
