UV disinfection

Part of its environmentally conscious approach to brewing, Korea’s Hite Brewery Company has installed 25 Hanovia UV water disinfection systems at its Massan and Gangwan plants.

The UV systems ensure water used in the production processes remains free from microbial contamination, ensuring a high quality, pure final product. Seven units are installed at Massan and 18 at Gangwan.

In Massan the UV is used to treat clean-in-place (CIP) water (three units), cooling water injected after the CIP (three units), and activated carbon-filtered water (one unit). At the Gangwan plant three UV units are used to treat water after deaeration and the remaining 15 units treat activated carbon-filtered water.
