RC-LUX : Innovative solution for water treatment


RC LUX is a new and innovative solutions for water treatment and water solutions. RC Lux, a start-up spawned by the Grenoble Laboratory for Subatomic Physics and Cosmology (LPSC), has released a prototype ultraviolet lamp capable of killing bacteria with devastating efficiency. 
RC Lux was created in 2003 when Pascal Sortais, an LPSC research engineer and specialist in plasma and ion sources, realized that commercial UV lamps were expensive and offered a relatively low shelf life (merely a few thousand hours). With both this support and strong backing from investors, Sortais created RC Lux in January 2006, with his associate Xavier Pellet. The investment capital has enabled them to manufacture the first prototype UV lamp and carry out in-depth market research. RC Lux is initially aimed at the hospital and food-processing markets, but these lamps could also make their way to drinking fountains, where chlorine cannot be used for fear of giving the water a bad taste. And it won't stop there. Sortais is now looking at many other applications, such as a process combined with titanium dioxide for sterilizing air.
