Xylem (China) Co., Ltd., Wedeco, founded in 1976 in Germany, is one of the top ten brands of ozone generators, a well-known enterprise in water technology in the world, and the world's largest manufacturer of ultraviolet disinfection systems and ozone oxidation systems
Founded in 1976 and based in Herford, Germany, Wedeco has developed halogen-free and environmentally friendly water treatment technologies, including UV and ozone systems. There are already more than 250,000 Wedeco systems used worldwide for UV disinfection and ozone oxidation in private, public and industrial sites. Wedeco introduced ozone technology in 1988 and has been expanding internationally ever since. UV disinfection systems have many applications, including water treatment and aquaculture. Ozone disinfection systems are suitable for drinking water, wastewater, process water, product polishing, bleaching, ozone decomposition/synthesis and deodorization.
Wedeco UV systems provide customers with an alternative to environmentally harmful chemicals used for disinfection, including chlorine, chlorine dioxide, and hypochlorite. UV disinfection adapts to the natural effects of sunlight and is extremely versatile. Ultraviolet light can be used to disinfect water, destroying harmful microorganisms in other liquids, surfaces, and air. Wedeco UV systems are suitable for the disinfection of drinking water, process water, wastewater, brine, ultrapure water and other translucent liquids such as syrup.
Ozone is one of the strongest oxidizing agents in industrial production and is commonly used in water treatment in municipal and industrial applications. The particular advantage of ozone is the environmentally friendly way it works. Harmful substances, colors, odors and microorganisms are directly destroyed by oxidation without the formation of harmful chlorination by-products. In addition to treating drinking water and wastewater, Xylem's Wedeco ozone system is used in bleaching processes such as paper bleaching as well as other industrial oxidation processes.
Xylem's Wedeco brand also offers Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) solutions designed to eliminate a wide range of toxic compounds and microscopic contaminants. Xylem's Wedeco pre-designed AOP system is based on three key components – ozone, hydrogen peroxide and UV light generated by low-pressure, high-intensity bulb technology. By combining these technologies, Xylem is able to meet the individual needs of its customers.
