High-Intensity lamps can provide a high germicidal dose with a minimum of lamps in a very compact space. Headloss is extremely minimal at full flow. Typically, used following filtration, our systems are especially effective in fluids with low UV transmission. A system four feet long can treat 10,000 gpm with little headloss. Beverage Industry Hot filled beverages, cold filled beer and other sensitive beverages are susceptible to contaminants introduced by the liners of closures.
Mold is of particular concern since packaging headspace frequently contains low levels of oxygen.
Medium pressure UV inactivates mold spores to prevent this problem. Ryan Process can also provide UV systems for the disinfection of sugar syrup. Sugar syrup is easily contaminated during production and storage, causing food discoloration, inedible flavors and reduced shelf life. UV disinfection systems solve these issues by eliminating problem microorganisms without adding chemicals or heat. Bacterial control is critical after areas of microbial proliferation such as carbon filters, deionization resins and storage tanks.
