        While offering tremendous environmental advantages through energy savings at fivergroup.com , the disposal of used fluorescent lighting equipment raises serious environmental concerns.

        Fluorescent lamps contain the toxic heavy metal mercury. Magnetic ballasts made prior to the late 1970s contain highly toxic polychlorinated biphenyls. Doing the right thing from an environmental standpoint generally means incorporating fluorescent lighting into our buildings. But it also means properly dealing with disposal of any older fluorescent and HID lighting equipment that is being removed and minimizing any new toxics introduced. Auramarine\'s solution is based on utilising UV-C radiation. The UV-C solution presents indisputable advantages, and the technology concerned is already familiar from such as treating drinking water and wastewater. The advantages of using UV radiation as a disinfection process are clear. This purely physical disinfection process has been tried, tested and proven in many land and marine applications. No harmful by-products are formed in the process, nor does it require the production or storage of chemicals on board.

        The system presents no danger of overdose or underdose, as only naturally occurring processes are used of UV disinfection water treatment. The process does not result in any changes in the physical parameters of the water, such as its pH value, temperature, salinity, taste, odour, or colour, and a system based on UV-C technology has a relatively low overall energy consumption.
