ActiClean® is a patented dual-action cleaning system engineered to maintain peak performance of multiple Trojan UV disinfection systems. By combining mechanical wiping with a specialized gel cleaning agent, it prevents quartz sleeve fouling. Fouling occurs when organic and inorganic deposits accumulate on sleeves, absorbing UV light and reducing UV transmission into the water. ActiClean® mitigates this degradation, delivering reliable UV system performance, increasing energy efficiency, and regulatory compliance.
The ActiClean™ Cleaning System uses ActiClean™ Gel, a proprietary, food-grade cleaning agent developed by Trojan and NSF 60 certified for use in drinking water.
The ActiClean™ Cleaning System cleans sleeves through:
Mechanical action: Wiper canister seals scrape the sleeve surface
Chemical action: ActiClean™ Gel within the canisters dissolves deposits
Stainless steel wiper canisters surround quartz sleeves and contain ActiClean™ Gel
Submersible wiper drive moves the carriage along the sleeve smoothly and automatically
Lamps remain on and in-channel during cleaning
Removes both organic and inorganic deposits for up to 50% more effective cleaning
Maintains ≥95% transmittance through sleeves in low-quality water
Ensures consistent UV output
Eliminates manual cleaning of sleeves and sensors
Validated by third-party testing
Cleans sleeves in place, no shutdown or lamp removal
Designed for Trojan systems, fully compatible with wiper components
Effective under most conditions
Lubricants protect wiper seals
Non-corrosive, non-toxic, biodegradable

The ActiClean™ Cleaning System is managed via the Control Power Panel (CPP) and Hydraulic System Center (HSC) interface, allowing operators to schedule cleaning intervals or initiate immediate cleaning cycles. The cleaning system is driven by an internal drive cylinder with an externally mounted hydraulic pump. The drive cylinder is hermetically sealed to prevent any possibility of fluid loss. Cleaning frequency depends on fouling levels and wiping cycles.
Periodic inspection ensures maximum efficiency and long-term operation. Gel refill and wiper seal service typically occur every ~2 years.
