Process water treated by UV disinfection
British company Hanovia will supply Sasol Technology Ltd with four medium pressure UV disinfection systems for its South African production plant, to enable secondary effluent re-use
Designed to meet the most stringent sanitary requirements of the food industry, the microprocessor-controlled UV units can easily be integrated into plant control systems.
Maintenance requirements are low: typically the UV lamps are replaced once a year by on-site personnel.
Automatic internal wiper systems maintain the cleanliness and effectiveness of the medium pressure UV lamps, especially important when treating solutions containing a high proportion of suspended solids.
The benefits of medium pressure UV in low temperature brine chillers and pickle or marinade processes are remarkable.
Risk of microbial contamination is greatly reduced, while shelf life is increased.
In addition, in marinade applications, operating costs are reduced through less frequent fluid change-over.
Finally, as UV is a non-intrusive treatment method, it does not affect the taste, colour or odour of the final product.
Hanovia is the market leader in the manufacture, application and development of UV technology for progressive, non-chemical disinfection and microbiological control.
