EXPERTS IN ULTRAVIOLET DISINFECTION

Instek Control • Oct 31, 2017

THE PROCESS TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF MICRO-ORGANISMS IN WATER, BY MEANS OF ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT IS CALLED “ULTRAVIOLET DISINFECTION”. IT IS USED IN ALL KINDS OF WATER TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF MICRO-ORGANISMS SUCH AS BACTERIA, PROTOZOA, VIRUSES, FUNGI, ALGAE.

bestUV is an innovative manufacturer of professional ultraviolet (UV) water treatment systems for industrial and communal markets. UV reactors are optimized with "in-house" Computational Fluid Dynamics. bestUV select s each unit for the unique application, applying in-depth knowledge of microbiology, chemistry, process and reactor design.

Ultraviolet (UV) light in different industries is used at several points in the water treatment process to protect materials, pipelines and products from micro-organisms, residual disinfectants and organics in the water.

bestUV delivers systems designed for these special requirements, including material certificates (3.1B), FDA-approved components, special construction of the UV measurement device, and any kind of hygienic tri-clamp connection (DIN,
ISO, SMS) used at the site.

These requirements pertain to:
- construction of the UV reactor and quality of welds
- construction of the UV measurement device
- material and roughness of the UV reactor and internals
- type of inlet and outlet connections
- type and material of O-rings

The selected UV reactor and internals are also resistant to high CIP-temperature, resistant to CIP-chemicals and resistant to present residuals.

EXAMPLES OF DIFFERENT UV LIGHT APPLICATIONS ARE:
- disinfection (inactivate present microorganisms)
- de-ozonation (breakdown of ozone)
- de-chlorination (breakdown of free chlorine)
- de-chloramination (breakdown of bounded chlorine)
- TOC-reduction (breakdown of small organic matter)

Instek Control is pleased to introduce the ITM-51 – the first turbidity sensor with IO-Link developed by Anderson-Negele.

Salute Giovanni Venturi!

By Instek Control • 05 Nov, 2019
In this blog post we are going back in time to toast the life of Italian physicist Giovanni Battista Venturi (1764 – 1822). He was responsible for figuring out an important element in basic fluid and airflow dynamics, which came to be known as The Venturi Effect.

Now available: Conductivity sensor with IO-Link

Digitalisation has already found its way into many branches of industry under the keywords "Industry 4.0" or "Internet of Things", and today it is impossible to imagine life without it. INSTEK Control is excited to announce that the new dimension in hygienic measuring technology is digital and analogue, compact or remote and modular.

Getting cleaning concentration, time and temperature right: your key to successful brewery sanitation

By Instek Control • 03 Oct, 2019
When it comes to a brewery, you clean to prevent the transfer of tastes from one beer to the next, and you clean to help assure your product is safe for human consumption. In the face of increasing supply and demand, brewing plants are compelled to keep the cost of production as low as possible, without sacrificing safety and quality of the end-product.

Turning up the pressure for consumer product safety

By Instek Control • 09 Sep, 2019
The highest priority in the production of food, beverages and pharmaceuticals is product safety. In sanitary applications, such as the production of vaccines or baby food, the purity, quality and stability of the product must be ensured.
