3.9M Euro Funding for UV Water Disinfection Development

Hanovia has been awarded euro3.9M for a project aimed at bringing new ultraviolet (UV) water disinfection to market

Led by UV industry leader Hanovia and partnered by three sector leading organisations - Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Germany; DVGW, the German Gas and Waterworks Association’s Centre of Applied Research; and IVL, the Swedish Environmental Research Institute - the project brings together industry, academia and independent test and verification bodies.
The project will prove the new UV lamp technology by demonstrating it in real applications, with full characterisation in terms of long-term stability, ageing effects and dose-response-relationship. The UV lamps will be integrated in Hanovia treatment systems and the performance of the whole UV system will be independently evaluated at DVGW and monitored for efficiency by IVL.
Testing protocols for different end-users applications will also be derived, which could act as the basis for a future standardised validation for industrial UV applications in the EU. A full Life Cycle evaluation of cost and environmental benefits in comparison to traditional UV technology will be assessed by IVL in order to ensure active uptake of the technology in the marketplace.
“This substantial award from the European Union represents a huge vote of confidence in the technical and economic ambition of Hanovia and our ability to deliver a new generation of highly efficient UV lamps,” said project manager Jane Wallis, of Hanovia.
