Dairy Process UV Treatment for Water

Contamination of  dairy 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.

Hanovia provides UV treatment for water to the dairy industry worldwide. Hanovia is widely recognised as the centre of excellence for new developments in UV treatment for water for dairy process water and waste water.

 Dairy Process UV Treatment for Water:

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

 The Role of UV Treatment for Water

Outbreaks of water-borne pathogens place producers at high risk of costly and damaging recalls and product liability. In addition, UV treatment for water and the 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  and UV treatment for water disinfection and treating direct contact fluids and ingredients, CIP and bottle rinse, tank headspace etc.

Pre-treatment using UV Treatment for Water 

• Placement of the UV treatment for water 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 treatment for water 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 treatment for water systems also provide a safe, simple means of deozonation.

Tank Headspace

• 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 treatment for water is an approved method of reducing bacteria without the use of chemicals.

Waste Water

• Process plant effluents can be treated without the use of environmentally hazardous chemicals using UV treatment for water.

Cooling Media and Chiller Disinfection

• Many foods are subject to contamination after heat treatment. UV  treatment for water 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 treatment for water can disinfect this water without chemicals or pasteurization.

Re-use & Irrigation

• UV treatment for water provides tremendous benefits in water re-use and irringation.  Dump tanks, Re-use and Irrigation, and Wash waters can all be protected from contamination with UV disinfection.
