100% pre-engineered for wastewater applications, the OpenLine is specifically designed to treat secondary wastewater flows of up to two and a half million gallons per day (1,736 gallons/minute) and over a wide range of UV transmittances. It utilizes a new type of low pressure, high output (LPHO) amalgam lamp that offers a stable output over its entire operating life of up to 14,000 hours.

The OpenLine’s flexible, modular design means simple installation and maintenance, making it the ideal open channel UV system for municipalities with low flow requirements. Inspired by Aquionics’ successful InLine+ Series of closed vessel UV systems, the OpenLine is the first ‘plug-and-play’ open channel UV system available on the market. Installation is straightforward: the unit is simply placed on a flat surface, the inlet and outlet piping is connected, and it is ready to use. The totally self-contained unit negates the need to install lamp wires through conduits or connect chemical feed systems.
