Hanovia Showing the Latest UV Disinfection Technology for Aquaculture Applications at Aqua Nor 2009
UV disinfection specialist Hanovia will be showing its UV systems for aquaculture applications at this year’s Aqua Nor aquaculture exhibition in Trondheim, Norway. The company will be sharing a booth with its Norwegian distributor, Teknor Systems AS.
Hanovia is well known throughout the European aquaculture industry as a leading supplier of UV disinfection systems for applications such as fish hatcheries, fry rearing, shellfish purging and mussel depuration tanks. Other proven uses for UV include the control of algal and fungal blooms, TDS (total dissolved solids) and BOD (biological oxygen demand) problem reduction and even the removal of chlorine and chlorine byproducts in commercial aquaria using mains water supplies.
New products specifically developed for the fishery and hatchery sectors will be on display, including Hanovia’s AF3 series, which handles flows between 1.5 m3/hr to 51.0 m3/hr and has lamp outputs ranging from 51 to 270 watts. The UV output bandwidth of AF3 systems is very narrow, making them ideal for use hatcheries, where efficient disinfection of viruses and bacteria is required, but where collateral damage to other, beneficial, organisms must be kept to a minimum.
Also on show will be Hanovia’s medium pressure lamp technology including the XF5 systems, which are designed to fit in-line with the process flow, so minimising disruption and taking up a very small footprint, plus the company’s long established and ever popular Photon systems.
Hatchery and other fish stock is highly susceptible to infection from natural fish populations in the water feeding the farm. Increased water extraction and lowered water quality can also result in increased outbreaks of viral and bacterial fish diseases. An effective disinfection system is therefore essential to treat water entering and circulating within fish farms. UV is ideally suited for this application as it does not alter the pH of the water, uses no chemicals and does not create by-products which could harm the stock or damage the environment on discharge. Indeed, UV is the most economical disinfection technique available.
Experts will be on hand at Hanovia’s stand at all times to provide technical expertise and answer any UV-related questions.
