bestUV awarded to deliver BetaLine UV systems for a zoo

Dutch manufacturer bestUV is again awarded to deliver ultraviolet (UV) systems for disinfection of water to one of the largest zoos in Europe. The delivery is part of a renovation project to improve the water quality for the animals and visitors.

The bestUV systems, series BetaLine-E, are all equipped with multiple ‘state-of-the-art’ high-efficient UV lamps, with stable operation in a wide temperature range during the entire lamp life.

BetaLine UV series were introduced to the market after intense microbiological validation procedures at the veterinary university for physiology, pathophysiology and biophysics. The BetaLine UV series is as well approved by several international health institutes for use of disinfection of water for consumption (including Önorm, FHI and PZH).

BetaLine UV is a compact UV system equipped with ‘state-of-the-art’ unique high-efficient low-pressure UV lamps. The availability of bestUV’s intelligent microprocessor allows the UV system to operate in the most economic power mode. By use of the intelligent microprocessor, the bestUV system runs exactly on the power needed to fulfill minimum UV dose requirements, even when flow and surface water quality change, which is important for use in zoos.

The local company installed already several bestUV systems and selected for above project again the bestUV systems for reasons of proven reliability, effectiveness, easy maintenance and good price/quality ratio.

bestUV systems for cosmetics industry in Eastern-Europe

bestUV was again awarded for delivery of several bestUV systems for a cosmetics company in Eastern-Europe.

The bestUV systems, integrated in the water treatment loop, are used for the following purposes e.g.:

disinfection
deozonation
dechlorination
TOC reduction

All applications require their own specific UV dose (mJ/cm2) to be effective. UV for the disinfection process is totally different from the other processes. For breakdown of ozone (O3), free chlorine (HOCl/OCl-) and Total Organic Carbons (TOC) a much higher UV dose is required compared to disinfection and in some cases different combinations of UV lamps and quartz sleeves are required.

Besides bestUV’s decades of application knowledge, a very important strength of bestUV is the possibility to customize the bestUV systems according to the endusers’ requirements. The bestUV systems follow the highest standards in cosmetics and pharmaceutics industries, such as, but not limited to:

hygienic tri-clamp connections,
hygienic construction,
material certificates 3.1 acc to EN 10204:2004

One of largest breweries in Europe selects innovative bestUV system

One of the largest breweries in Europe selected bestUV for treatment of water to be used in the brewing process.

The brewery has committed itself to the environmental management system ISO 14001 and recognises bestUV systems to fit into their environmental and sustainable code of practise.

The bestUV system is customized to the specific needs of the brewery, running on different flows upto 2.000 hl/h. This innovation of bestUV fits perfect into bestUV’s innovative and customized philosophy, offering UV systems that the market is asking for.

bestUV awarded for delivery to Baltic State

Dutch manufacturer bestUV is again awarded to deliver ultraviolet (UV) systems for disinfection of drinking water to one of the Baltic States.

The bestUV systems are all equipped with high-efficient UV lamps and automatic cleaning mechanisms for prevention of fouling of the protective quartz sleeves and UV sensor.

The delivery is part of a waterproject financed by European Union funds for reconstruction of water and sewage systems.

The UV units will be installed in a pressure pumping station, supplying disinfected drinking water to small communities with total amount of abt. 20.000 inhibitants.

The local company already installed several bestUV systems and again selected the bestUV systems for reasons of proven reliability, effectiveness, easy maintenance and good price/quality ratio.

Unique compact bestUV system

The Dutch manufacturer bestUV presented a new generation of high efficiency ultraviolet (UV) systems called KappaLine UV at the Aquatech tradeshow. The range is specifically designed, microbiologically tested and certified for the disinfection of drinking and process water. The KappaLine UV product range is officially approved for disinfection of (drinking) water.

The KappaLine UV range is unique in design and lamp technology. The basis of the design is a combination of theoretical computer modeling (CFD) and practical microbiological testing. An extensive optimization process has resulted in the unique definite shape of the KappaLine UV range and it is officially certified for use in (drinking) water.

The specially designed state-of-the-art low pressure UV lamps offer optimum efficiency, long lamp life and thus low (LCC) operating costs.

The unique and compact design, where the connecting piping flanges are positioned in one line, result in the smallest footprint and lowest possible pressure drop.

Besides the application for disinfection of (drinking) water the KappaLIne UV is also very suitable for combined UV / hydrogen peroxide processes (AOP) where organic micro-pollutants are to be destructed.

Comparison of lamp technologies for public pools

A comparison between the two UV lamp technologies: low- and medium pressure (LP and MP) for use in swimming pools is available now. The differences in reduction of chloramines (mono-, di-, and trichloramine) and microorganisms are described with references to scientific reports.

The document is written by the ‘experts in ultraviolet light’ especially for operators to help in selection of the best lamp technology available for pool water treatment.

Comparing repair tendencies between low- and medium-pressure UV lamps

This microbiological document is a summary of a literature study comparing microbial dark- and light-repair tendencies after UV exposure. The author describes the differences between low- and medium-pressure UV lamps. This document is especially interesting for those applications where (sun)light is exposed after UV treatment of water (a.o. wastewater, poolwater, ballastwater, fountains etc).
