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

With dairy facilities looking for efficiency improvements and opportunities to reduce costs, product recovery has become a hot topic. Many dairy 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 lines will

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

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 antimicrobial effectiveness

UV disinfection system validation: What does it mean?

When a UV disinfection system is recommended to a customer by a manufacturer, there are several different methods that can be used to provide the appropriate sizing. Correct sizing ultimately guarantees the overall performance of the system in terms of an expected log reduction of bacteria, virus or specific target organisms. While all sizing algorithms
