Water Process Flow – More Than Just Gallons Per Minute

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 a sizing equation.

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. It provides effective treatment, while reducing lifecycle costs through being simple to maintain and extremely energy

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
