What's the benefit of updating an existing unit? We believe that our latest technology offers considerable improvements over our legacy systems.
One significant barrier to replacing an existing UV system is the alignment of the existing piping and new reactor connections. Misalignment of the inlet and outlet (also known as center-to-center distance) can cause undesirable rerouting or piping, which can lead to recertification of the process, as well as additional downtime, timeline, and costs for the replacement project.
To better serve customers looking to replace legacy systems, we now offer OptiVenn models that are compatible with the center-to-center specifications of many popular Aquafine legacy product lines (CSL, RBE, Optima, Optima HX). This will allow you to streamline the UV replacement process, saving time and cost.
The OptiVenn series from Aquafine is a family of robust and flexible ultraviolet (UV) systems with advanced technology designed to meet the stringent requirements of pharmaceutical, food & beverage, microelectronics, and other industrial markets.

As we phase out parts and services for these legacy systems, we remain committed to assisting customers with a smooth transition to our latest products. If you’d like more information on upgrading your Aquafine system, fill out the form and one of our experts will be in touch.
Is Trojan Technologies ending all support for the CSL, RBE, and SCD series?
No, we'll keep supplying essential items like UV lamps, drivers, and quartz sleeves. However, due to technological shifts, supply instability, and rising costs, we'll gradually discontinue service for other parts. We encourage all CSL, RBE, and SCD customers to work with us on a transition plan to a new UV system to ensure continuity of operation. A list of the parts available is posted on our website or by contacting your Aquafine representative.
Why is Trojan discontinuing reliable Aquafine product lines?
Components for the CSL, RBE, and SCD series are increasingly difficult to obtain because they're based on aging technology and are not economical for suppliers to produce in small quantities. We suggest customers transition to our OptiVenn or Avant series of systems, which offer lasting value and can be support consistently.
Why isn’t Trojan selling off the shelf components?
As supporting old products becomes riskier and more costly, we're shifting our efforts to areas with clear customer benefits. We'll still offer technical support and assist with CSL, RBE, and SCD issues, but encourage you to begin planning to transition to a new UV system.
Who can I contact to help determine if my system will become obsolete and to help me replace my CSL, RBE, or SCD products?
Contact your local Aquafine sales representative or Aquafine application support at applications@aquafineuv.com to explore alternatives and arrange for your system upgrade. We are committed to helping you determine the right replacement option which will offering both continued product support and lasting operational advantages.
