Product information

AquaShield UV System has no salinity or temperature limitations. Model selection ensures flow ranges down to 35 m³/h and up to 3,500 m³/h with a single unit. The UV system is optimized for both high and record-breaking low UV transmission values!

AquaShield, a tried-and-true solution derived from our BMWS systems, excels in environments with low UV-t (below 85%). UV-t, or Ultraviolet Transmittance, represents the ability of water to transmit ultraviolet light and is crucial in UV disinfection (water transparency). AquaShield's superior performance in these conditions is attributed to its unique shape and lamp configuration, ensuring that water passes closer and for a longer duration near the lamps.

This design, while highly effective, does lead to a somewhat larger pressure drop. Remarkably, AquaShield offers flexibility in materials, with the option of casting it in either NI-Al-Br or super duplex steel, all at the same price point. Whether you require only the essentials or a plug-and-play full skid version, AquaShield is your versatile solution for various applications, akin to our ballast water solutions. 9 variants are available, from 2 to 36 lamps.

AquaSield software

Intelligent software for reliable aquaculture UV treatment

AquaShield is operated by a purpose-built software platform developed specifically for DESMI’s aquaculture UV systems. Designed as one common platform for AquaShield UV units, the software makes commissioning easier and enables engineers to configure the system on site without direct support from the automation team.

Built on DESMI’s experience from BWMS control systems, AquaShield UV Control Software introduces a simpler and more intuitive HMI for aquaculture operators. The interface focuses on the key values needed during operation, including UV dose, UV intensity, UV transmission, flow, pressure, temperature, lamp power and system status.

The software continuously regulates treatment performance by adjusting lamp power according to the required UV dose and the water’s UV transmission. This helps ensure reliable treatment while supporting efficient energy use. It is also developed to support NVI compliance by preventing the system from regulating below the required minimum dose level, even if an incorrect setpoint is entered.

AquaShield is easy to integrate into existing Site Control Systems, enabling control and monitoring of the UV units through the customer’s own operational platform. Full IoT integration is also available for remote performance monitoring and alarm notifications by SMS, email and other channels. Learn more about IoT Solutions here.
