AquiSense and OASIS partner on UV-C LED-based clean drinking water systems
Nikkiso Group company AquiSense Technologies LLC of Erlanger, KY, USA (which designs and manufactures water, air and surface disinfection systems based on UV-C LEDs) has announced an exclusive new product platform for OASIS International, which designs, manufactures and distributes clean drinking water systems (water coolers and point-of-use filtration equipment) to over 80 countries via several brand names. The partnership provides OASIS with AquiSense’s patented ultraviolet light-emitting diode (UV-C LED) water treatment technology for cleaner, safer water directly at the point of dispense.
AquiSense and OASIS have been engaged in close cooperation for over a year in a detailed joint development effort to deliver the QUASAR, a unique, highly integrated UV LED solution. The QUASAR platform offers a high-level microbial disinfection barrier directly at the point of discharge for multiple OASIS products, including water coolers, fountains, bottle fillers, and point-of-use dispensers. The solution has been third-party validated to show over 99.99% (4-log) pathogen reduction, in addition to long-term customer field trials.
“This partnership signifies a step change from regional product integration, to widely available, global product availability for UV-C LED technology,” says AquiSense’s CEO Oliver Lawal. “We are happy to provide the latest chemical-free water treatment technology to OASIS customers,” he adds.
“The QUASAR integrates into our electronic bottle filler products, which provides clean drinking water,” says Lou Busick, OASIS International’s VP innovation & new product development.
