Ultravio specializes in high-quality high-output, low-pressure amalgam UV lamps, available in both standard and custom configurations. These lamps offer a significant advantage over conventional low-pressure mercury lamps, delivering higher UV power density and improved energy efficiency. By incorporating an alloy of mercury with another metal, amalgam lamps are able to operate effectively under a wider range of conditions, providing consistent UV-C performance throughout their long operational lifetimes.
Amalgam lamps are offered in two primary types: ozone-free and ozone-generating. Ozone-free lamps are optimized for maximum output at 254 nanometers, making them ideal for disinfection applications, while ozone-generating lamps are optimized at 185 nanometers and produce ozone, which can be used for alternative disinfection processes. In some cases, both technologies can be combined to meet specialized application requirements. Ultravio also provides custom amalgam lamp designs that can accommodate higher or lower working temperatures, ensuring optimal performance in diverse environments.
Compared to standard low-pressure mercury lamps and MPUV lamps, amalgam UV lamps offer superior efficiency and energy savings. They generate less heat and maintain high performance over a broader temperature range, making them especially suitable for applications where consistent UV-C output and energy efficiency are critical. Even at the end of their service life, Ultravio’s amalgam lamps continue to deliver strong UV-C output, providing reliable and effective performance for long-term use.
