Hanovia Limited has reached an agreement with Severn Trent Services, Inc. (STS), a leading US supplier of water and wastewater treatment solutions, to jointly develop and market advanced ultraviolet (UV) disinfection systems for municipal drinking water treatment throughout North America.
The five-year agreement between the two companies will provide STS with the latest UV technology available to target the fast emerging market for drinking water treatment. Hanovia’s products will be marketed by STS under its FrontLine™ brand. FrontLine™ products will become part of STS’s overall disinfection solutions package, which may include other technologies such as chemical and membrane disinfection, monitoring and advanced filtration.
STS expects that the worldwide market for UV disinfection will grow exponentially within the next few years, with drinking water UV applications leading the way. The recent position taken by the US Environmental Protection Agency for the use of UV technologies in eliminating Cryptosporidium from water helps in actualising such market growth.
