UV disinfection for brewing and beverages
Microbial growth in beverages and beer products due to contaminated water supplies or sugar syrups can cause discolouration, off flavours and shortened shelf-life
Micro-organisms killed by medium UV stay dead
It is well known that bacteria and other micro-organisms contain enzymes that can repair UV-damaged DNA, a process known as 'reactivation'.
Jon brings a wealth of technical expertise to the post.
He was appointed President of Aquionics last year, and before that he was Managing Director of Hanovia.
During his six years with Hanovia he developed new markets for UV disinfection and de-chlorination technology in the pool and drinking water sectors.
He also won the Queen's Award for Enterprise, Britain's most prestigious award for business performance.
These successes, coupled with the immediate impact he had on Aquionics since taking over last year, led directly to his promotion.
"Our aim is to increase the penetration of the UV companies across the wide range of applications where our market-leading technology has real advantage," said Jon.
"We already have an established presence in North America, Europe, South-East Asia and Australasia which provides us with reference-grade installations and a strong base on which to grow our business".
Jon has 20 years of experience in the water industry, ranging from municipal and water reuse applications to specialized ultra pure industrial uses.
He holds an MBA and a BSc in Physics from Imperial College in London.
