An innovative technology developed in Cumbria which could slash the costs of water treatment worldwide has been shortlisted for two major awards.
The system, developed by Penrith firm Typhon, is one of the first systems in the world capable of using UV from LEDs to neutralise harmful micro organisms on an industrial scale.
Other LED UV treatment systems are only effective at treating small amounts of water for very low flows or personal use.
Typhon is hoping to market the product worldwide as a unique, cost-effective, low maintenance UV water treatment, which could eventually render traditional lamps, based on mercury, obsolete
