UV System
Before selecting a UV solution that suits your application, several key parameters must first be clarified. UV intensity is often confused with UV dose, although they represent different concepts. UV intensity refers to the instantaneous power of UV light reaching a specific surface or point, while UV dose represents the total UV energy delivered to microorganisms over a defined exposure time. The figure below further illustrates and clarifies the distinction between UV intensity and UV dose.
UV Dose will usually be the determining factor when it comes to microbial disinfection. Different microorganisms exhibit varying levels of UV resistance and therefore require specific UV doses to achieve the targeted log-reduction or inactivation performance as shown in the figure below.
It is also crucial to determine the Point of Use (POU) of the UV system in food & beverage applications. The POU of UV treatment directly influences system design, validation dose, hygienic requirements and its application. The figure below shows various POU & applications of UV treatment in a typical beverage production line.
UV Solutions provided by Aquafine comes with a lifetime performance guarantee with gives better assurance and confidence for end user.
Applications
Microbiological Inactivation
UV disinfection is highly effective at inactivating microorganisms* which the performance has been consistently proven in industrial installations worldwide. In food & beverage industry, UV systems can be strategically integrated at various points to control microbial contamination.
Chlorine & Chloramines Reduction
Municipalities are required to maintain a disinfectant residual, usually chlorine or chloramine to control microorganism in water distribution network. However, these residuals can damage the equipment & affect beverage flavour, making their removal an important pre-treatment step for food and beverage manufacturers.
Liquid Sugar Treatment
UV treatment offers food and beverage industry an effective, chemical-free way to control microorganisms in sweetened beverages and sugar syrups. Liquid sugar with UV Transmittance (UVT) of 20% or higher can be effectively treated using UV. By damaging microbial DNA & RNA, UV prevents spoilage, extends shelf-life and maintains product quality.
Ozone Reduction
Ozone is used in some food and beverage plants to control microorganisms, but residual ozone can harm equipment and affect water quality. A post-ozone UV system helps address the issue by breaking down ozone, reducing the residual and hence protecting both equipment & product.
