Fresh, clean water is one of the most important things in life. There are plenty fresh water resources on land, but offshore or on a ship they are limited. On those place you depend on your own clean water source. You want to blindly trust your fresh water making equipment. Failing is just not an option!

Van Remmen UV disinfection units for water treatment are reliable and effective. “They have an efficient design for water disinfection and therefore deliver an excellent performance”, according to researcher Bas Wols of the independent institute KWR, The Netherlands. 1)

Next to that, the units are low in energy consumption, easily integrated into the existing piping network, low in maintenance and easy to operate. Specifically aimed and certified for drinking water treatment is the Van Remmen C-series. This series is tested in accordance with ­NEN-EN 14897 (based on ÖNORM M 5873-1, USEPA 2003 and DVGW) and verified by NIPH. The C-series guarantee a ­continuous UV dosage delivery of at least 400 J/m2, reducing the E-Coli bacteria in the water by 8 log.

Why UV disinfection?

Disinfecting your water with UV-C light is a very effective, ­accurate and environmental friendly method. No chemicals are used during the process, just UV-C light. It does not affect the taste, colour or odour of the water and leaves no residue. You have an uninterrupted and continuous water treatment that is specifically focused on destroying the DNA of the bacteria.
UV-C light is not selective towards one specific bacteria and therefore treats the entire range of micro organisms. Overdosing a micro organism with UV-C light is impossible; once the DNA is destroyed, the micro organism dies. And a dead bacterium can’t be killed twice.
When using a Van Remmen disinfection unit, your water is ­properly disinfected at all times. Clean water is produced in a quick, safe, effective and an environmental friendly manner.
All Remmen units are low in energy consumption, easily integrated into the existing piping network, low in maintenance and easy to operate.
