Introduction

KENT proudly presents KENT Ultra Star – the new advanced fully automatic UV purifier with storage tank.

The innovative KENT Ultra Star, developed at KENT laboratory, provides double purification of UV+UF. While the initial purification by UV deactivates bacteria and viruses, the double purification by fine pores of Hollow Fibre UF membrane reduces them from the purified water. The Activated Carbon pre-filter reduces bad taste and odour, so that the water you drink is healthy, safe and tasty.

It has UV LED disinfection light in storage tank that keeps purified water pure.

UV Process

Ultra Violet (UV) rays are high energy rays having a wavelength shorter than the visible light. They are called ultra-violet because they are just beyond the violet light in the spectrum. Technically, ultra-violet light is defined as any wavelength of light which is shorter than 400 nanometer.

When penetrated into water, the UV radiations are absorbed by the DNA of pathogens. These UV rays alter the DNA of these pathogens in such a way that they lose the ability to reproduce, multiply and infect. Thus, they are essentially killed and cannot cause infection. This process of DNA modification is known as inactivation.

UF Process

Ultra Filtration is a separation process that uses membranes with pore sizes of 0.01 micron.
UF membranes reduce high molecular-weight substances, colloidal materials, and organic and inorganic polymeric molecules including bacteria and viruses. Low applied pressures are therefore sufficient to achieve high flux rates from an Ultra Filtration membrane.
