One of theHanoviaUV systemduring installation at the Crowne PlazaHotel,WestHanoi
Hanovia’s (UK) UV technology is disinfecting drinkingwater for the Crowne Plaza Group’s flagship five starWest Hanoi hotel in
Vietnam.The UV systems remove potentially harmfulmicroorganisms from the incoming citywater supply, in linewithWHO guidelines for drinkingwater
quality.All the Hanovia UV systems are designed to provide aminimum 99.9%reduction in
E.coli,Cryptospiridium,Giardia and other harmfulmicroorganisms.
“Although Hanoi’s citywater supply is normally free of
E.coli, the design consultant for the Crowne Plaza specified UV disinfection for its five star hotels in Vietnamto ensure allwatermeets theWHO’s drinkingwater quality guidelines,”commented Hanovia’s Asia PacificManager Ying Xu.“In thisway the hotel group is providing an extra level of health and safety for its residents,”addedYing.
“We selected Hanovia’s UV systems for this installation because of the company’s high brand recognition as a supplier of quality,high-end UV systems,”said a spokesperson fromSTD&S Co., Ltd, Hanovia’s exclusive Vietnamdistributor.“The hotel group is so satisfiedwith the performance of the UV systems that it has orderedmore units for another hotel currently under construction in the Vietnamese coastal city of Nhan Trang,” the spokesperson added.
10 UV systems are installed in theWest Hanoi hotel: four PMDmediumpressure UV units and six AF3 amalgamUV units,with flowrates ranging from 162m3/h down to 5m3/
h.One of the AF3 systems disinfectswater for the hotel’s restaurant; the other nine treatwater for all the hotel bedrooms, apartment complexes and offices.
All the UV systems treatwater froma storage tank that has passed through awater softener and sand filter.Water passing through the UV systemserving the restaurant also passes through a RO (reverse osmosis) filter immediately prior to UV disinfection, offering an additional level of protection.
Additional benefits of Hanovia’s UV technology mentioned by the contractor include low maintenance; ease of use; lowoperating costs;no high-temperature issueswith the AF3 systems, which are quite capable of handling highwater temperatures;and themulti-functionality of the PMD systems’control systems,which are easily integrated with bleed valves to controlwater temperature.
Commenting on the installation,Hanovia’sManaging Director John Ryan said:“This is an interesting installation for
Hanovia.Many of our existing hotel installations are for swimming pools and spas,but our expertise in providing UVwater disinfection systems for high purity applications in the pharmaceutical, food and beverage industriesmeans we arewell-placed to provide similar systems for water treatment in hotels or other public buildings.”
TheWHO describes UV radiation as“biocidal betweenwavelengths of 180 and 320 nm. It can be used to inactivate protozoa,bacteria, bacteriophages, yeast,viruses, fungi and algae.”
