Atlantium Hydro-Optic UV (HOD) provides non-chemical bio-fouling control tp protect cooling water piping and fire control systems as well as
turbines and heat exchangers from microbial and biological contamination. Hydro-Optiv UV achieves 100% inactivation evn at less than 50 UVT.
Atlantium's award winning projects have been recognized with the Bureau of Reclamation.
A proven bio-fouling control solution for invasive mussels in hydroelectric facilities with the ability to achieve 100% inactivation even
under conditions with less than 50% UVT. Control invasive mussels that clog cooling water pipping and fire control systems and protect
turbines and heat exchangers from mussel fouling with the HOD UV technology.
The first of 17 Hydro-Opticâ„¢ (HOD) UV units from Atlantium has been commissioned at the Hoover Dam, a hydroelectric facility with a nameplate
capacity of approximately 2,080 megawatts that is managed by the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) Lower Colorado Dam Office. Hoover Dam has
seventeen cooling water systems for turbines requiring protection from mussels; nine on the Arizona wing and eight on the Nevada wing.
Following the spread of quagga mussels to Lake Mead, Reclamation began a feasibility study in 2007 to identify control options that could
protect its facilities (Hoover, Davis, and Parker Dams) while having little to no environmental or ecological impact.The HOD UV technology
was selected as the preferred treatment to supplement operational and mechanical activities already in place at Hoover Dam by the North Wind
Group, who was awarded the contract by Reclamation to provide UV lights and associated piping at Hoover Dam.
Unlike chemical treatment approaches, UV systems employ a physical process for disinfection. When bacteria, viruses and protozoa are exposed
to the germicidal wavelengths of UV light, they are rendered incapable of reproducing. UV exposure is believed to affect the essential functions
of the veliger (the larval stage), which inactivates the organism and prevents settlement. Although the exact effects of UV exposure on
veligers are unknown, previous studies have indicated that UV exposure causes immediate or latent mortality.
