Hanovia News - a Halma PR news blog

For the first time, the Halma UV companies Hanovia Limited and Berson UV-techniek will be exhibiting jointly at this year’s Aquatech water technology exhibition in Amsterdam. The companies will be showing their combined strength in both the industrial and municipal water treatment markets, where they rank among the world leaders in UV technology.

Hanovia, based in Slough in the United Kingdom, specialises in industrial, aquaculture and swimming pool applications. The company will be showing a number of new UV systems for industrial water treatment applications such as food and beverage processing and high purity applications like pharmaceutical and electronics manufacturing. The company is also interested to meet potential distributors for its products.

Berson, based near Eindhoven in the Netherlands, specialises in municipal applications and will be showing its InLine and InLine+ range of closed-vessel UV disinfection systems. Capable of treating water and wastewater flows as high as 5000 m3/hour, they have a unique design where the UV lamps are angled at 90^o to the water flow. This not only means a more effective distribution of UV light to the passing fluid, it also means a much smaller footprint, allowing easy installation and servicing.
