Aquaculture Water Treatment: Why Use UV?
The Hatchery’s UV upgrade project began in June 2015 in response to the eruption of the Calbuco volcano, which is considered by the Chilean National Service of Geology and Mining to be the third most dangerous volcano in the country. The volcano eruption released ashes and volcanic sand destroying UV equipment. The natural disaster made it necessary to repair many of the UV systems used to disinfect the water at the hatchery.
UV Water Treatment In The Beverage Industry
UV disinfection is a flexible, safe and cost-effective technology that effectively inactivates pathogenic bacteria, spores, viruses and protozoa. The use of UV technology for water treatment has several inherent advantages.
Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO) Requirements For UV Disinfection
The PMO specifies that water for use in contact with milk in Grade-A plants must be pasteurized. Since 2011, Ultraviolet disinfection has been approved to replace thermal pasteurization for this water, as long as certain criteria are met.

Improving Water Quality At Fish Hatcheries With UV Disinfection – A Case Study
Located on the Klamath River in Hornbrook, California, Iron Gate Hatchery is a salmon and steelhead hatchery that releases fish back to the Klamath River. Due to the presence of the fungus Saprolegnia sp and primarily bacteria (Flavobacterium psychrophila and Metallogenium sp), hatchery yield is thwarted due to disease. Poor water quality supports an environment favoring these fish pathogens and as a result, hatchery managers must produce 10,000,000 eggs to release 6,000,000 fish annually.
Helping Mercy Ships Deliver Hope & Healing
To further meet the customer’s needs, significant redundancy was built into the system, enabling it to function for long periods of time at sea without additional maintenance. An Aquafine UV system CSL Plus was the ideal complement for the application because of its user-friendly design and compact size.
