Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document provides detailed specifications for the Low-Pressure High-Output (LPHO) amalgam UVC lamps used in the ULTRAQUA UV-system at Pendills Creek NFH. The system requires 50 such bulbs, which have a 16,000-hour life expectancy and need periodic replacement to maintain efficacy in purifying water for the hatchery.

Lamp Type and Technology:

• Low-pressure high-output (LPHO) amalgam UVC lamp
• UV spectrum: Germicidal UVC (~254 nm) for microbial inactivation
• Technology: Amalgam mercury discharge lamp for high UV intensity and stable output.

Electrical Characteristics:

• Nominal power: 350 W
• High-output configuration (HO) for significantly higher UV power.
• Primary wavelength: ~254 nm (germicidal UVC)
• Optimized for UV transmittance with high-purity quartz sleeves (>95% UV transmission).

Mechanical Characteristics:

• Linear tubular lamp with a high-purity fused quartz envelope.
• Configuration: often single-ended or double-ended electrode.
• Compatibility: used in UV reactors such as UltraBarrier / UltraAqua systems.

Operational Characteristics:

• Optimized operating temperature range for water disinfection reactors.
• Short warm-up time for full UV output.
• Requires electronic ballast designed for LPHO amalgam lamps.
• Typical installation: inside a quartz sleeve within stainless-steel UV reactors.

Lifetime / Long-Life Design:

• Rated lifetime: typically ~16,000 hours.
• Longlife amalgam design reduces UV depreciation and maintains stable UV output.
• Wire coating: Teflon, manufactured in Germany.

This document is crucial for potential bidders supplying replacement UV lamps for the Pendills Creek NFH ULTRAQUA UV-system. It outlines the precise technical specifications, performance characteristics, and physical attributes required for the lamps, ensuring that any proposed product meets the government's needs for effective water purification and fish health maintenance.
