Juice Process Water Disinfection

Hanovia provides ultraviolet disinfection systems to the juice manufacturing industry worldwide. Hanovia is widely recognised as the centre of excellence for new developments in ultraviolet treatment for juice process water and waste water.

Contamination of  juice process water  can result in loss of product (not only resulting in production losses, but also higher waste effluent surcharge costs), product recalls, and lost consumer confidence.

 Juice Process Water Treatment Applications:

• Pre-Treatment Disinfection
• Cooling Media (Chillers, etc.)
• Direct Contact Fluids and Ingredients
• CIP, Bottle Rinse or Wash Waters
• Liquid Sweeteners
• Tank Headspace and Venting
• And Many Others...

  
The Role of UV disinfection

Outbreaks of water-borne pathogens place producers at high risk of costly and damaging recalls and product liability. In addition, disinfection of product and package surfaces effectively extends shelf life, providing huge cost savings for our customers. Hanovia has led the way in pre-treatment disinfection and treating direct contact fluids and ingredients,, CIP and bottle rinse, liquid sweeteners, tank headspace, venting etc.

Pre-treatment Disinfection

• Placement of the UV system ahead of the carbon filters for dechloramination provides higher carbon filter efficiency resulting in longer carbon runs, thus decreasing your operating costs. In addition to extending the life of carbon beds, dechlorinating process water will remove the off flavours associated with chlorine disinfection. The flavour of the final product will remain unadulterated and free from undesirable flavours and odours.

Post Carbon

• The carbon filter forms an ideal environment for micro organisms to grow rapidly, thus producing biological contamination. UV disinfection of carbon filtered water has been an accepted application for many years. Ozone has the same detrimental effects on beverage flavours as chlorine compounds, thus ozone must be removed from product waters. UV systems also provide a safe, simple means of deozonation.

Tank Headspace and Venting

• Material storage tanks require direct headspace protection as well as eliminating intrusion during drain and fill operations.

CIP, Bottle Rinse or Wash Water

• Even water used to clean surfaces or used in CIP operations can be a source of contamination. UV is an approved method of reducing bacteria without the use of chemicals.

Liquid Sweeteners

• Sucrose based sweeteners can be a prime breeding ground for micro organisms. UV can directly treat the syrups.

Waste Water

• Process plant effluents can be treated without the use of environmentally hazardous chemicals.

Cooling Media and Chiller  Disinfection

• Many foods are subject to contamination after heat treatment. UV provides an excellent way to protect foods from contact cooling fluid contamination.

Direct Contact Water or Ingredient

• Water as an ingredient in a food or coming in direct contact with food can be a source of contamination. UV can disinfect this water without chemicals or pasteurisation.
