Free Chlorine? Total Chlorine? Who cares

The majority of food and beverage manufacturing facilities rely on a municipal water supply for cleaning, process water, ingredient water and other uses. For many applications, it is necessary to remove the residual chlorine from the municipal water supply because it can affect the taste and flavor of the product being manufactured. This is especially

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

Options for Measuring UV Transmittance

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 achieving the desired disinfection performance.

How UV technology can minimize membrane biofouling

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 results. Membrane biofouling

The importance of piping configuration in ensuring optimal UV system performance

In 2006, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued the Ultraviolet Disinfection Guidance Manual (UVDGM) which provides technical information for UV System performance on the application of UV light for the disinfection of drinking water by public water systems. While the UVDGM has its roots in municipal water treatment, it has found its way

Iron and manganese and their inhibitory effect on UV performance

While it is common sense that a light based disinfection technology like UV will have reduced effectiveness as water quality visibly declines, there are some contaminants that can cause a dramatic reduction in UV’s effectiveness when they are present in even small amounts. Iron and manganese are two such contaminants worth noting as they can
