UV LED disinfection is microorganism inactivation with ultraviolet light emitted by LEDs instead of a conventional mercury lamp.

What does UV LED disinfection mean in practice?

LEDs start instantly, may operate intermittently and contain no mercury, but differ in power, wavelength and efficiency.

When does it matter?

Performance depends on dose, UV transmittance, flow, reactor geometry and validation, not merely visible operation.

Which solutions are related to it?

Size the reactor for validated flow and dose, protect it from turbidity and scale and monitor temperature and LED ageing.
