Chinese pharmaceutical firm buys UV disinfection

Hanovia has won a major contract to supply UV disinfection systems, for ultra-pure process water disinfection, to Chinese pharmaceutical manufacturer.

UV disinfection specialist Hanovia has won a major contract to supply UV disinfection systems to a leading pharmaceutical manufacturer in China.

The UV systems will be used for ultra-pure process water disinfection.

The company said that the contract is its largest ever pharmaceutical order for the Chinese market and cements its position as one of the leading suppliers of UV disinfection systems to the global pharmaceutical industry.

The support of its local Chinese representative was instrumental in Hanovia winning this contract.

UV technology has many applications in the pharmaceutical industry, including process water disinfection, TOC (total organic carbon) reduction, ozone and chloramine destruction, and dechlorination.

UV systems are easy to install on existing pipework and require minimum disruption and site preparation.

Depending on the level of use, the only routine maintenance required is changing the UV lamps every 12-24 months, a simple procedure that can be carried out by on-site personnel.

Once installed, a plant can be kept operational 24h/day, without the necessity of shutting down the system for routine sanitation and sterilisation.
