UVterugdringing
UVterugdringing is a term occasionally used in Dutch-language technical literature to describe systems that combine ultraviolet (UV) disinfection with backflow prevention in water services. The exact meaning of the term is not standardized and its usage can vary between sources, sometimes referring to a design approach, a specific equipment package, or a procedural workflow that integrates UV treatment with measures that prevent reverse flow.
UV disinfection uses UV-C light to inactivate microorganisms in water, reducing microbial load without adding chemicals.
Common configurations may place UV disinfection upstream or downstream of backflow preventers, depending on the system
Potential advantages of UVterugdringing include enhanced drinking-water safety by combining disinfection with protection against contamination via
