How UV Technology fits in with the Food & Beverage Industry Regulation Plans ?

A major talking point resulting from the UK Food Standards Agency(FSA) announcement that it plans to redesign its regulatory role, is the idea of moving away from its current inspection model.


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 


Pasteurized Equivalent Water – Is UV treated water really `equivalent’?

by Brian Grochowski In 2009, the FDA published a revised Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO), which included UV disinfection technology as an approved alternative to pasteurization for the treatment of water used within a dairy facility. Pasteurization has been considered the `gold standard’ for water treatment and used in critical dairy applications for many years. As 


Options for Measuring UV Transmittance

by Dan Shaver, May 2017 The value of accurately measuring UV Transmittance (UVT) when sizing a new UV disinfection system cannot be underestimated (see previous blog on the importance of UVT). Using an accurate UVT value during the sizing and operation of new UV equipment can have a direct impact on both energy consumption and 


How UV technology can minimize membrane biofouling

By Brian Grochowski The use of membrane technology is common practice within the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries. Membrane systems play an important role in purifying water, ingredient water, water reuse and recycling. While these systems are very reliable and produce consistent results, correct maintenance and monitoring of the membranes is essential to ensure optimal
