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 `gallons per minute’ value and plugging that

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. The trend is driven in many cases by corporate influence and guidelines that aim to ensure consistency and

Product Recovery in Dairies – Air vs. Water

By Brian Grochowski With dairy facilities looking for efficiency improvements and opportunities to reduce costs, product recovery has become a hot topic. Many facilities can increase production efficiency by considering ways to recover product that would otherwise remain in the sanitary production pipework and lost during a changeover. The amount of product lost in these 

What is UVEO technology?

By Gunvinder Bhogal – Global Marketing Manager (Aquionics, Berson, Hanovia) Continuing from my last blog on new water treatment technology such as ultraviolet light (UV) being used for dechlorination to replace activated carbon filtration (ACF), I will now focus on Hanovia UV systems that are powered using Ultraviolet Energy Optimised (UVEO) science. The UVEO technology 

Why is it important to have a properly validated UV water disinfection system?

By Bob English UV light, especially in the wavelength range of 200-280 nm, is well documented to provide excellent water disinfection. So, with the technology seen to be so effective, why might it be important to have a UV system validated? As you might expect, most of the studies on UV disinfection have focused on 

Its time to replace those ACFs with UV systems to reduce chlorine?

by Gunvinder Bhogal – Global Marketing Manager (Aquionics/Berson/Hanovia) It can be a tough decision to replace technology that you have relied on for many years, but when benefits such as greater energy efficiency and improved operational performance are provided by new alternative solutions, this is usually the time to consider a change.
