Liquid Storage Tank UV Systems
Because of the warm, moist environment, liquid sugar and syrup storage tanks are breeding grounds for bacteria, mold and yeast.
American Air & Water offers several types of germicidal ultraviolet UVC and filtration systems to combat the problem. Our UV systems are specifically designed for liquid storage tank applications. UV is ideal for liquid storage applications because it has no effect on the taste, color or odor of the liquid. In fact, unlike chemical sterilization UV neither adds nor removes anything from the liquid sugar, syrup or water. The filters prevent dust, dirt and other mechanical contaminants from entering the headspace of the tanks.
The top-of-tank mounted LTC (Liquid Tank Conditioner) has become an industry standard for reducing condensation and controlling microbial growth in Liquid Sugar and High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) storage tanks.
The BT Liquid Tank Conditioning UV systems can be mounted directly to the tank or remotely (up to 25’). They provide a UVC dose of more than 30,000µWs/cm² using high output, shatterproof lamps. The systems include airflow and LED lamp-on indication and standard 4” Tri Clamp connection.
Designed for tanks holding 20,000 US gallons (75,710 liters / 75.7m³) and more, the SC-4AB tank conditioner can be mounted on the floor next to the tank for easier lamp and filter changes that do not require climbing on top of the tank.
The TTG Series is designed to sterilize tank headspace as well as deliver germicidal UV energy to the liquid in the tank. The lamp is housed in a quartz sleeve for protection, as the lamp is partially submerged, suspended in the tank by a double-grooved gasket.
In-line systems for liquid disinfection deliver the EPA-required UV dose of 40,000µWs/cm² (40mJ/cm²). Ultraviolet water disinfection systems can be provided for applications from 1GPM to millions of gallons per day.
Liquid Tank Conditioners mount on top of liquid storage tanks and provide unsurpassed filtration and UV sterilization.
