Municipal

Municipal wastewater is rarely straightforward. Pond-based systems, trade waste inputs, and seasonal flow variability all affect effluent quality in ways that conventional ultraviolet systems weren't designed to handle. If your treatment train produces effluent with low UVT, whether from high solids, algae, or organic loading, the Supercritical UV™ disinfection system is built for you.

We've proven its abilities across waste stabilisation ponds, oxidation ponds, and mixed municipal-industrial streams, consistently meeting consent requirements in conditions where conventional ultraviolet falls short. Beyond treatment performance, the modular design means capacity can be matched to your site without over-specifying, and then often scaled to increase capacity within the same physical footprint. The system can also be retrofitted into existing infrastructure without major civil works. For councils operating on tight budgets with limited operational staff, low power consumption and straightforward maintenance reduce the ongoing burden of running the system. If you're facing a costly upgrade to make your existing ultraviolet work, or you've been told ultraviolet isn't viable for your effluent quality, it's worth having a conversation with us.
