| | Luberetsk water treatment plant. First step
 One of the world’s largest UV systems for waste water disinfection was commenced at the Luberetsk Water Treatment Plant of the Moscow Sewerage System in August 2007. Equipped with LIT’s equipment, it has a capacity of
1 350 000 m3/day (56 250 m3/hour). This is the first step taken to carry out a large-scale program embraced by the Moscow government under the supervision of its mayor, Y. Luzhkov. Application of UV disinfection is a great breakthrough, first of all, in terms of ecology. The Moscow Sewerage System takes more than 5 millions m3 of waste water per day. Following complete biological treatment and advanced nitrogen and phosphor removal, the waste water in Unit 2 of the Novoluberetsk Treatment Plant is exposed to UV disinfection The UV system consists of 8 channels complete with state-of-the-art high-output amalgam lamps (600W) arranged in vertical modules and operates automatically. All operational information is transmitted to the Main Control Center of the Luberetsk Water Treatment Plant to control Unit 2. The disinfected waste water goes to the Moscow River. The UV system improves the quality of the Moscow River water in and downstream of the city, thus meeting the challenge of safer and healthier life for residents of Moscow and the Moscow Region and positively affecting the environmental situation in the Volga River and the Oka River watersheds – the regions of Ryazan, Vladimir and Nizhniy Novgorod.
