We are now moving Hanovia to the forefront of modern advertising with the use of ‘Quick Response’ (QR) codes.

What is a QR code?

QR codes come to us from Japan where they are very common. They are square bar codes that allow companies to tag web addresses to ….and when users scan these bar codes using their mobile phone devices…..the QR code takes the user to a target web page, which provides further details on a product or service.

How does your phone read the code?

The phone needs a QR code reader, like the ‘QR Droid’ app for iPhone, Android and Blackberry. Once you have installed and launched the app, the phones camera becomes a bar code reader and can be used to read any QR code. Once it has captured the address…you will be taken to that target web page.

Have a go…scan the above QR code!

With ship owners worldwide contemplating a solution to the impending IMO Ballast Water convention, what better time for Hamworthy, international fluid handling specialist and Hanovia, specialists in UV treatment, to announce that they are joining forces to provide a robust technical solutions for this new market demand .

This partnership results from a strong relationship established over many years of working together on marine black and grey water systems. It recognises that Hamworthy’s experience in providing water treatment systems that meet environmental legislation, its worldwide sales and support network and Hanovia’s expertise in UV technology can be combined to provide ship owners with a flexible, cost effective solution to their ballast water treatment (BWT) needs.

Hanovia has been a leader in UV systems design and lamp manufacturing for over 80 years and has a long track record in tailoring UV systems to meet the demands of a wide range of industries including the marine sector where UV is already becoming established as one of the leading chemical free technologies for BWT. Medium Pressure UV is particularly advantageous, due to its small foot print, ease of maintenance and low capital and running costs.

Hanovia are one of the few UV system designers to make its own UV lamps and monitors, allowing Hanovia maximum scope to optimise a system to suit the specific ship requirements, as UV performance is critically dependent on the combination of UV light source, UV monitoring technology and chamber fluid dynamics.

Apart from the ever present need to perform to regulatory requirements under a wide range of seawater conditions, ship owners need a small footprint, configurable system that lends itself to both new build and retro-fitting into what remaining space there is on existing ships. The UV system is a key component in the BW management system and is integrated in the BW package by Hamworthy, who assume overall responsibility for performance compliance against the required regulatory standards

Hamworthy has over 40 years experience in marine sanitation and offer innovative solutions that meet all existing and anticipated standards. Their dedicated ballast water research and development team have introduced safe, energy efficient technologies that meet both current and future expectations. Hamworthy’s filtration technology, Hanovia’s UV system and the overall system control provided by Hamworthy represents a complete BWT solution. In addition Hamworthy provide a full turnkey service to offer support from system selection and engineering, though supply installation, commissioning and ongoing technical and aftersales support for the life of the equipment.

IMO approvals have progressed quickly and choosing a solution suitable to a range of differing ship types, sizes and environmental conditions can be challenging. The strategic alliance of Hanovia and Hamworthy provides a ballast water treatment solution that can assure ship owners of increased levels of protection for the marine environment anywhere in the world.

Designed specifically to provide validated, performance qualified UV treatment of water in pharmaceutical, biotech and other high purity applications, Hanovia’s new PharmaLine PQ UV system takes biosecurity to the next level.

Guaranteeing water of the highest possible quality as demanded by regulatory bodies such as the United States FDA (including Good Manufacturing Practice), the PharmaLine PQ is, in effect, a low-cost insurance policy for manufacturers.

“I see it as a kind of ‘policeman’, guarding your system and offering you peace of mind that your process is safe,” says Halim Mirza, Hanovia’s global business manager for industrial applications. “This is because its disinfection performance and dose calculation has been verified by a 3^rd party. The advanced controller continuously calculates the dose, responding to changes in water quality, and will alarm should the dose deviate from the set limits. Comprehensive validation documentation is also available to enable the UV system’s performance to be verifiable throughout its operation period,” he added.

The PharmaLine PQ is ideal for high purity applications with optimised flow rates. All wetted parts are manufactured from FDA-compliant materials and the system is approved to international standards including CE, UL, NSF/NSF61 and IEC (on selected models).

A revolutionary feature of the PharmaLine PQP model is its optimised, absolute intensity UV monitor. Located within the chamber, it allows the controller to automatically correct the dose calculation as UV transmittance varies without the need for an external UV transmittance monitor. In addition, the factory-calibrated dry UV sensor provides absolute UV intensity monitoring in real-time and, because it remains outside the water flow, it can be removed and inspected without interrupting the process. The dry monitor also allows for field verification using a portable reference UV sensor. Its patented shutter port means there is no risk of UV exposure and no need for the operator to wear safety equipment while performing the field verification.

Smart controls ensure continuous monitoring and real-time display of the verified RED (reduction equivalent dose) and allow three levels of password-protected security and provide Modbus output to SCADA systems, allowing event logging. In addition, the controller has an on-board message display panel and many other safety and alarm features. Another unique feature of the control system is that it allows repeated lamp restarts without effecting lamp life, as is the case with many other UV systems.

Hanovia uses the latest generation of high efficiency, long life amalgam lamps, all of which use the latest electronic ballast, ensuring extended lamp life (typically in excess of 10,000 hours).

Installation or retrofitting of PharmaLine PQ UV systems into existing pipework and vessels is relatively straightforward, requiring minimum disruption and site preparation. Once installed, the production plant can be kept operational 24 hours a day, without the necessity of shutting down the system for routine sanitisation and sterilisation. When a lamp needs to be changed is it a simple procedure that can usually be done by on-site personnel with no specialist training.

More news to follow…

Hanovia’s new PharmaLine SD UV system has been designed specifically to provide cost-effective, highly reliable disinfection and de-ozonation for mid-tier pharmaceutical and biotech companies in China.

Water passing through the CFD-modelled treatment chamber is exposed to UV light which destroys the reproductive abilities of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, yeasts, moulds and algae. In addition, the UV is highly effective at destroying ozone molecules present in the water, breaking them down in harmless by-products.

By closely monitoring absolute UV intensity and showing the real-time working status of each UV chamber, the PharmaLine SD ensures a 99.99% reduction of microorganisms. In addition, an online duty sensor can be checked against an optional reference sensor to ensure the UV unit is always performing within specification.

The quality standards required for purified water in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmetics, healthcare and biotechnology industries have never been stricter, with manufacturers having to conform to an ever increasing number of standards. Hanovia’s PharmaLine SD UV system guarantees water of the highest possible quality.

PharmaLine SD UV systems can be installed at various points along the water purification system depending upon the individual site requirements. Installation or retrofitting into existing pipework and vessels is relatively straightforward, requiring minimum disruption and site preparation. Once installed, the production plant can be kept operational 24 hours a day, without the necessity of shutting down the system for routine sanitisation and sterilisation.

The PharmaLine SD’s UV lamps are manufactured in-house by Hanovia and have very long lives (typically in excess of 10,000 hours). When they need to be replaced is it a simple procedure that can usually be done by on-site personnel with no specialist training.

The benefits of the PharmaLine SD are many: installation is easy, requiring little disruption to the plant; maintenance is simple and can be carried out by on-site personnel; as a non-chemical method of treatment, there is no possibility of a detrimental effect on product stability and products are also free from unwanted residues, colours and odours.
