Alfa Laval UV Lamps
Reliable UV Disinfection for Ballast Water Treatment Systems
Alfa Laval UV lamps are vital components in Alfa Laval PureBallast ballast water treatment systems, ensuring effective biological disinfection and full compliance with IMO and USCG regulations. Engineered for stable UV intensity and long operational life, these genuine lamps guarantee dependable system performance under all conditions – from freshwater to the most challenging marine environments.
Each UV lamp is precisely matched to Alfa Laval’s reactor design, delivering the correct UV dose to neutralise aquatic organisms and pathogens before discharge. Regular replacement of UV lamps is essential to maintain treatment performance, minimise downtime, and ensure continued environmental compliance.
UV Lamps
Efficient ultraviolet disinfection solutions designed to ensure safe, clean water.
- Perfect Compatibility – Designed exclusively for PureBallast systems to maintain certified performance and regulatory compliance.
- Optimised UV Output – Provides precise UV intensity for effective biological treatment.
- Long Service Life – Manufactured with high-grade quartz and electrode materials for maximum durability.
- Energy Efficient – Engineered to balance UV output with power efficiency for reduced operating costs.
- Regulatory Assurance – Genuine lamps maintain the vessel’s type approval under IMO and USCG standards.
Function: Emits ultraviolet light to inactivate microorganisms in ballast water as part of the treatment process.
Replacement Interval:
- Replace UV lamps annually or after 8,000–9,000 operating hours, whichever occurs first.
- Always inspect during scheduled maintenance or if UV intensity or transmittance alarms appear.
Pro Tip: Handle lamps with clean, lint-free gloves and avoid touching the quartz surface. Contamination can reduce UV output and cause hot spots, leading to premature failure.

PureBallast UV Lamp Models and Compatibility
Alfa Laval’s PureBallast range has evolved over several generations, each utilising specific UV lamp configurations optimised for power output, reactor design, and treatment capacity. Using the correct lamp model ensures certified UV transmission and system performance.
Lamp Type: High-Intensity Low-Pressure UV Lamp
Description: Designed for early systems; requires correct matching with control cabinet configuration.
Lamp Type: Medium-Pressure UV Lamp Assembly
Description: Common across commercial fleets; delivers enhanced UV output and improved energy efficiency.
Lamp Type: Advanced Medium-Pressure UV Lamp
Description: Latest generation with optimised cooling and extended lamp life; compatible with digital monitoring systems.
Important: Always verify your system type and serial number before ordering replacement lamps. Using non-genuine or incorrect lamp models can result in UV dose deviation, treatment failure, or loss of certification.
Benefits for UV performance with Cleaning-In-Place
UV ballast water treatment systems are chemical-free and pose no risk to the ballast water tanks. However, they depend on regular cleaning to remove seawater scaling and fouling from the UV lamp sleeves and sensors. n PureBallast 3, cleaning is done through gentle, automated Cleaning-In-Place (CIP).
Ensure Compliance with Genuine
Alfa Laval UV Lamps
Protect your ballast water treatment system and maintain full certification with authentic Alfa Laval UV lamps. Non-original lamps can compromise UV dose levels, risk system non-compliance, and void type approvals. Contact us today to request a quote or confirm compatibility with your PureBallast model.
