Inactivation of Aquatic PathogensThe Importance of DELIVERED UV Dose

Inactivation of Aquatic PathogensThe Importance of DELIVERED UV Dose

Pathogens require varying UV dose rates for inactivation

Collimated Beam Apparatus (CBA) determines pathogens’ dose ID

HOD technology:

Delivers required dose according to customer need

Contributes to effective energy consumption

Delivered Dose Confidence

Flow-Through System ExperiencePinar: Sea Bass & Sea Bream Hatchery

Flow-Through System ExperiencePinar: Sea Bass & Sea Bream Hatchery

Pinar is among the top ten aquaculture investment projects in Europe

Disease outbreaks mostly due to presence of systemic bacterial infections (vibriosis, myxobacteriosis & Pasteurellosis)

External protozoan infections (cryptobia spp. & ameba species)

Old disinfection system: 200 m3/hr sea water 20 and 5 microns filters 75 UV system with 1 LP lamp each
