Avant Series

Powerful performance, lower total cost of ownership

The Avant series of UV water treatment systems incorporates the latest innovations in UV technology and best-in-class components to break down trace chemicals, such as total organic carbon (TOC), chlorine, chloramine, and ozone, and provide microbial inactivation.

The Avant’s compact footprint and modular system architecture allow you to tailor the system to your operational needs, reduce installation costs, and minimize maintenance expenses.

Controller

• Programmable logic controller (PLC) continuously monitors and controls UV system functions, including safety conditions, and generates critical and non-critical alarms for off-spec conditions.
• Centralized control system supports up to four systems with a single, user-friendly 7-inch touchscreen HMI, enabling flexible configuration and simplified operation. Clear alarm indicators and intuitive navigation provide a quick view of system health, including key status and operational data, and easy access to lamp status and controls.
• UL Type 12 (IP55) electrical cabinet offers superior protection against dust and water ingress, ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments. Painted carbon steel Type 12 (IP55) panels are available in a skid-mounted variation, stackable up to four systems. Cables are routed through enclosed raceways for improved organization, safety, and protection from physical damage and environmental conditions.

Inlet & Outlet

• Configurable inlet/outlet adapts to piping requirements by allowing water to flow in either direction.
• Can be manufactured with either standard ANSI, DIN, JIS, inlet-out flanges, or tri-clamps to comply with the Food Contact Materials regulation concerning wetted parts.

Chamber

• End cap covers the UV chambers to safeguard the lamp plugs from external splashing, debris, and mechanical damage.
• High-efficiency, high-output lamps provide superior system performance, reduce electric consumption, and decrease operating costs. Single-ended lamps are located within protective quartz sleeves with easy access from the service entrance.
• UV chamber Is an electropolished 316L stainless steel chamber that fits into existing piping galleries or tight spaces.
• UV intensity sensor* continuously monitors UV lamp output to ensure specified dose levels are maintained. Aquafine offers a unique sensor for fluids with low ultraviolet transmittance, such as liquid sugar in food and beverage applications, that is mounted in the center of the chamber for a 360-degree view of the lamp output from the entire array of lamps in the chamber.

*Part of the upgrade package

Our low-pressure, high-output (LPHO) lamp technology significantly reduces the energy needed to treat your flow rate. As fewer lamps are required for treatment, you can realize substantial savings on power, lamp replacements, and maintenance expenses

Avant systems come with best-in-class Aquafine Colorguard® UV lamps. Colorguard lamps are operating reliably in more than 100,000 systems across a wide range of applications worldwide. Colorguard makes it easy for team members responsible for ordering and replacing UV lamps to identify where lamps are needed.

Advanced lamp control

Operate systems in one of three modes: 100% on, manual dimming, and grouping. The grouping mode allows you to turn off a set number of lamps to optimize treatment under changing conditions. This enhanced power control enables you to meet treatment targets while minimizing electrical consumption and operating expenses.

Predictive maintenance tool

Monitor for any unusual power consumption or operating patterns and track the health of individual lamps, enabling operators to improve troubleshooting and avoid unplanned failures.

Smart driver technology

Recognize a lamp failure, preventing damage to the driver by attempting to turn on a lamp that is no longer operational.

Remote system monitoring

Continuously monitor all available system information from a remote location, reducing operational expenses and allowing for immediate action if an issue arises.

Expanded control functionality

Based on customer feedback, the Avant system has been upgraded to enhance operational flexibility, diagnostics, and the user experience. Capabilities now available include:

• Custom grouping enables tailored operation through manual on/off control for individual lamps.
• Water leak detection alarms notify operators if water intrusion is detected in a lamp sleeve.
• User-configurable alarm grouping allows bundling of alarms into a single digital output or SCADA notification.
• Alarm silencing suppresses minor lamp, driver, and UV intensity faults indefinitely.
• Larger lamp icons make viewing and controlling individual lamp status and on/off functionality easier.

High Performance, Compact Footprint: Avant HP is a cutting-edge TOC reduction system that provides improved performance and reduced costs. Compared to our previous offerings, Avant HP can save up to 75% in footprint while treating more flow. The reduction in UV units not only helps to save in upfront capital and installation investments, but also significantly reduces future maintenance expenses.

The modular skid configuration allows multiple units to be stacked, taking advantage of Aquafine’s technology in a compact and easily expandable footprint. Special-grade synthetic quartz sleeves allow more UV light to pass through to improve treatment performance & efficiency.
