Hanovia recently sold its first UV system in Canada for pool water combined chlorine destruction. Delivered to the Renfrew Park Community Centre in Vancouver, the Hanovia Photon medium pressure UV system is treating water in the Centre’s busy whirlpool, used by over 250 people per day.

“Since the Hanovia UV system was installed combined chlorine levels have dropped from 0.6ppm to just 0.1ppm,” said Frank Mastromonaco, Supervisor of Maintenance Technicians for Vancouver’s Board of Parks and Recreation. “We used to empty and refill the whirlpool twice a week, but since UV was installed we now only do it once a month,” he added.

“We chose Hanovia as the company has a proven track record in the pool industry and we have certainly not been disappointed,” continued Frank. “Not only have combined chlorine levels dropped, but the whirlpool water is much clearer and less foamy, even with the jet pump on. The air around the pool is also much improved, with none of the ‘chlorine’ smells and eye irritations normally associated with indoor pools. Staff and visitors alike have really noticed the difference and have commented on it.”

“Investing in UV was definitely worthwhile. In fact we are so pleased with the performance of system that we are installing another to treat the whirlpool at our Kensington Centre, ” concluded Frank.

The Hanovia UV system is currently running 24/7 and the UV lamp is expected to last at least one year before needing replacement. This is a simple operation that can be carried out by on-site staff. Compact and easy to install within existing pipework, all Hanovia UV systems are simple to operate and require minimal maintenance.

British water disinfection specialist Hanovia has just sold its first UV disinfection system for the Chinese automobile production market. The UV system purifies water used for spray cleaning the vehicles and for electrophoresis dipping water.

Situated at the end of the water treatment line and treating a flow rate of 20m3/hour, the Hanovia UV system destroys all water-borne microorganisms which, if allowed to grow, can contaminate the water system by blocking pipelines or growing in the electrophoresis tank.

“This is an important contract for us,” said Hanovia’s managing director Craig Howarth. “It is our first sale into the growing Chinese automobile production market and was only possible because of the strong local support of our Chinese sales office. Hanovia was selected over other companies because of our strong quality and performance guarantees.”

The customer is Beijing Anke Membrane & Engineering Co., one of the most well-known and respected pure water package companies in the Chinese automobile industry. The end user is a domestic automobile factory in Liuzhou City, Guangxi Province.

Commenting on the installation, Hanovia’s Chinese sales manager Peter Wang said, “The Chinese automobile production market is strong and growing. Hanovia is looking forward to assisting many more users in improving their product quality over the next few years.”
