Atlantium's HOD (Hydro-Optic Disinfection) UV OC Series for open-channel wastewater treatment, already operating in India and Brazil, has now been validated in the USA by Carollo Engineers, in line with NWRI and IUVA standards. The third-party certification confirms the system meets tough US benchmarks for pathogen reduction, energy efficiency and reliable operation in reuse applications. CEO Yariv Abramovich called validation by one of the water industry's most trusted engineering firms a huge achievement that affirms the solution's efficacy for wastewater reuse and reinforces Atlantium's commitment to alternatives to chemical disinfection. The process, led by Carollo — a validation body recognized by the US EPA — included microbial inactivation trials, hydraulic checks and operational stress testing. The HOD UV technology delivers chemical-free disinfection with no harmful by-products and consistent UV dose even as water conditions fluctuate, helping utilities meet compliance targets with a smaller carbon footprint.
