Reliable UV solutions

UV technology appears to be a fairly simple technique, but practice generally proves more intractable. Speaking is Ton van Remmen of Van Remmen UV Technology. According to him, UV technology is often applied without a well thought-out concept. "It is important to arrive at a UV-efficient solution based on a problem. Only that offers guarantees of success."

Van Remmen UV Technology is the maker of the most sustainable UV disinfection systems in Europe. "We stand for progress, believe in sustainable disinfection processes and develop the technology that makes that possible," Van Remmen emphasizes. He discovered the importance of efficient water use in the 1990s. As a Euroconsult engineer, he worked on several irrigation and drainage projects in Asia. There he was able to improve the living conditions of the local population by helping them achieve more agricultural yields with less water. He took those insights back to the Netherlands, where Van Remmen UV Techniek was born in 1999. 

Disinfection and more

UV disinfection is a wonderful sustainable product with which we contribute to a better world," Van Remmen continued. "A world in which clean water, food safety and a hygienic environment are a matter of course. By continuing to innovate, that world is getting closer and closer. We dive into the customer's problem, think along with them and, with our own R&D department, always develop the most reliable solution. Many projects we carry out are focused on disinfection of swimming pool water. Here we look for the added value that UV technology can offer. Chlorine cannot break down everything, with UV technology we actually create an extra barrier for more security. We are also very active in horticulture. There is a lot of UV technology available in this sector, but there is mostly a big cloud of fog around it when it comes to actual performance. The product we conceived and developed with a partner delivers guaranteed performance, which has also been scientifically validated."

"UV is a nice technique to achieve the necessary results without chemicals," Van Remmen summarizes. "Especially for water reuse due to drought and scarcity, it offers plenty of advantages. The important thing, however, is to choose a reliable solution that actually offers added value."
