Hanovia has launched an ultra violet (UV) Application Centre in Shanghai, China.
Serving as a research and development (R&D) center of excellence for research into the science of UV for new and emerging applications worldwide, the facility will support existing and future requirements in Hanovia’s traditional markets for food and beverage, pharmaceutical, as well as high purity water.
Working in collaboration with universities from around the world, such as Imperial College in London and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany, as well as some of the leading global brands in the pharmaceutical, food and beverage industry, the company says its center is already enhancing its understanding of UV efficiency in the control and destruction of inorganic compounds.
“The center is completely customer-driven and is set up with a very clear mission: to develop UV application science that our customers actually need and to answer those searching questions that only empirical test work can answer,” says technical director Dr. Mark Aston.
“This means working as a partner with our customers to push the boundaries of UV science and align our product range with their existing and future needs.”
“This will directly help them achieve their primary goal of meeting all necessary quality standards with ever increasing efficiency and security.”
“Why speculate about UV performance for a new application when a series of targeted experiments will bring certainty to UV performance and efficiency?” asks the center’s principle engineer, Dr Elaine Feng.
“We believe our investment in the science will allow our customers to enjoy scientific rigour in their process development, gaining the peace of mind that comes with the hands on experience of moving from bench top to pilot to full scale.”
