VGE Pro - VGE Pro UV-C disinfection for intensive livestock farming

UV-C for the welfare of a livestock farm

The welfare of animals in a livestock farm is strongly related to the quality of the drinking water. Contaminated (drinking) water contains many germs and other micro-organisms that are not conducive to the health of the livestock. Disinfection with UV ensures that the drinking water is always of high quality. The radiation inactivates the micro-organisms without leaving any residue, resulting in clean and safe drinking water. A completely safe and sustainable way of water disinfection.

Safe and healthy drinking water

Our UV systems ensure that the water is safe to consume for livestock. The radiation is so strong that it is able to disinfect surface water until it is drinkable. For example, it can also reduce biofilm pollution, which is important because bacteria such as legionella like to settle in it. UV-C inactivates biofilm-producing bacteria, without leaving residue.

Treat a break tank with UV-C

The water in a break tank can also be disinfected with UV. By placing the system in a bypass, you ensure that the water that recirculates is 100% clean. You often see that break tanks form a warm environment in which contamination by biofilm occurs quickly. By placing a VGE Pro UV system you deactivate the micro-organisms and thus prevent the production of (new) biofilm.

Not just water

Not only water, but also surfaces and air can be disinfected with UV. For example, stables full of bacteria that must be disinfected without chemicals. UV-C is a safe and sustainable way of doing this. Pathogenic micro-organisms that spread through the air can be inactivated by a VGE pro ceiling UV unit that circulates air. In addition, a liquid feed tank can be disinfected, as it easily creates organic pollution.

Which UV solutions apply?

Legionella prevention

The legionella bacteria is a major problem for human safety. The pathogenic bacterium spreads through water mist and can thus infect the respiratory tract.

Water reservoir

Many sectors use buffer tanks in which water is stored in reservoirs. This water can stand still for a long time, giving micro-organisms the opportunity to grow.

Drink water

Drinking water is used in all kinds of application areas and must always meet the required specifications. Whether it is tap water in an office, water used to irrigate crops or process water in a factory.

Water reuse

Due to increasing water scarcity and sustainability, the need to reuse water is increasingly crucial. In order to comply with the guidelines, it is necessary for companies to set up their water treatment system as efficiently as possible so that water wastage is prevented.

Rainwater collection

The weather is getting more and more extreme. Longer periods of drought and heavy rain showers alternate. When there is so much rain in one go, the ground cannot absorb the water properly.

Air disinfection

UV-C disinfection has been used for years to disinfect water, but is also ideal for air treatment. Air disinfection can be used to prevent the spread of microorganisms through the air.

Surface disinfection

UV-C disinfection has a long history in applications for water, but can also be used for disinfecting surfaces. These are surfaces to which microorganisms can attach themselves.
