Hanovia is generally recognised as the technology leader in this specialised area. Specific lamps are manufactured with enhanced spectral outputs for disinfection, dechloramination, pesticide photolysis and NDMA photolysis.

Hanovia's UV water treatment services are used in the following applications:

• Drinking water / process water
• Swimming-pools
• Effluent
• Syrups, brines and whey
• High purity water and ultra pure water
• Aquaculture and hydroponics

UV IN DRINKING WATER AND PROCESS WATER

UV disinfection is used extensively and increasingly throughout the world by major water companies and industries. The applications range from primary disinfection prior to marginal chlorination or chloramination, to total and sole treatment where water is of high quality and where regulations do not impose a residual treatment.

UV IN SWIMMING-POOLS

Hanovia has the largest installation base of UV systems installed in swimming pools worldwide. UV lamps kill bacteria, viruses, moulds and their spores. UV lamps drastically reduce the risk of infection to bathers. UV also has an important secondary action; it initiates photochemical and photo-oxidation reactions which destroy chloramines - the compounds responsible for unpleasant smells in pools.

All Hanovia UV swimming pool systems feature an automatic wiper on the quartz sleeve of the arc tube, ensuring optimum performance at all times. Maintenance requirements are minimal, the tube needs to be replaced twice a year at most. The replacement is a simple, quick operation that can be carried out by centre staff.
