Through the combination of Corona Discharge Technology, Germicidal UV Light, and DEL's Advanced Plasma Gap technology, the DEL AOP lineup provides Advanced Oxidation Process in truly robust units.
The Advantages of AOP
With the use of AOP microorganisms are destroyed, chloramines are broken down and chlorine dependence is clear results.
- Destroys 99.9% of harmful contaminants
- Quickly oxidizes Cryptosporidium parvum, Giardia, and other chlorine resistant microorganisms
- Dramatically reduces chemical demand & increases effectiveness of residual sanitizers
- Eliminates chemical odors, irritations, and will not damage pool systems
The Science of AOP
When germicidal UV light (UV-C) and ozone react the result is the production of hydroxyl radicals. This reaction is known as Advanced Oxidation Process, or AOP.
Hydroxyl radicals (•OH) are the most powerful oxidation agents available, quickly destroying bacteria, viruses, pathogens and other contaminants that occur in water.
Hydroxyl radicals also destroy chlorine resistant microorganisms, such as Cryptosporidium Parvum, Giardia and E.Coli.
The Power of AOP
AOP is dramatically more powerful than Chlorine and other sanitizers, and even more powerful than Ozone alone. In AOP systems, the highly unstable hydroxyl radicals react with dissolved waterborne contaminants in a series of strong oxidation reactions. This process happens almost instantaneously.
