Water Process Flow – More Than Just Gallons Per Minute

By Dan Shaver There are a several variables that need to be considered when sizing a new UV disinfection system. One of the most obvious variables is the flow rate of the water through the system. However, there is more to a flow rate than just determining a `m³/hr’ value and plugging that number into 


Application-optimised low-pressure UV disinfection system simplifies water treatment and reduces lifecycle costs

Berson and Hanovia have jointly launched a new low-pressure UV disinfection system for the treatment of municipal, re-use and waste water. The easy-to-install AmaLine R UV range has been third-party validated, in line with US EPA and NWRI guidelines.

How is the Asia Pacific Food & Beverage market taking to UV water treatment technology?

The Asia Pacific (AP) region (outside of China and India) includes some of the fastest growing economies in the world. With rising incomes and continued population growth, demand for food and beverage products continues to rise. Coinciding with an increase in demand is a rise in manufacturing standards and quality levels.


China food and beverage industry is recognising the benefits of UV solutions

The market for ultraviolet (UV) treatment equipment in the Asia Pacific food and beverage industry is both lucrative and fast-growing. It was worth USD 15 million in 2015, and that figure is predicted to have increased by 12.5% by 2020. This growth is mainly driven by increased manufacturing activity in the region, especially in China.


UV Disinfection – NSF/ANSI Class A or USEPA UVDGM Validation

by Brian  Grochowski Food and beverage companies are increasingly specifying validated UV disinfection systems for use within their manufacturing processes. This shift in policy is being seen in many dairies, bottled water facilities and carbonated beverage operations.
