We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Cryptosporidium",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Processingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Is it time to revisit the old well in the brewery? from
Elga Process Water, which we summarised at the time by saying "Jim Allen reviews the factors to consider when looking at the potential water sources available for medium sized breweries, as concern grows over water cost, quality and supply".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Advanced UV disinfection unveiled at IWEX from
GB Environmental: "Engineers at GB Environmental have developed a number of patented technologies that maximise both the efficiency and effectiveness of UV disinfection".
In June 2007, we covered the news from Severn Trent Services
- take a look at Severn Trent Services acquires Quay Technologies
which says: "Severn Trent Services has acquired the business of Quay Technologies, of Berkshire, UK, manufacturers of a proprietary ultraviolet (UV) technology for use in water and wastewater disinfection".
Take a look also at the news release from Hanovia, Emerging trends in UV water disinfection,
as well as Innovative new on-line particle sensor from Analytical Technology,
and Emerging trends in UV disinfection from Aquionics Inc.
