IUVA 2026 Americas Conference
Showcasing recent advancements in technology and research addressing the environmental, health, and treatment process challenges of today.
Dynamic Operation, Dose Control, and Lifetime Assessment of UV-C LEDs
UV‑C LEDs have made significant progress in recent years with respect to efficiency, output power, lifetime, and overall price-performance, enabling their increasing adoption in a wide range of disinfection systems. In contrast to conventional UV sources, UV‑C LEDs allow rapid and frequent switching without detrimental effects on lifetime, making them particularly well suited for dynamically operated applications. Their instant on/off capability and continuous adjustability of the driving current enable real‑time adaptation of radiant output to changing process conditions and treatment demand.
In addition, a newly developed photodiode specifically designed for monitoring UV‑C radiation is introduced, demonstrating its suitability for integration into feedback‑controlled UV‑C LED water reactors. The results highlight the potential of UV‑C LED systems for adaptive, energy‑efficient, and sensor‑controlled water disinfection.
The ams OSRAM OLSON™ UV series enriches any application requiring Ultraviolet-C (UV-C) radiation for a clean and purified environment. The compact product features instant-on functionality, exceptional efficiency, and robustness with superior lifetime.
As new challenges continue to arise in public health, drinking water, reuse water and wastewater treatment, air pollution, hospital infections, ballast water treatment and industrial effluents, new applications emerge for UV technologies.
At this event, learn how to use the power and versatility of ams OSRAM’s LED solutions for smart UV-C sanitization to efficiently beat viruses, bacteria and spores. Lights on, Germs gone.
