M/V Hermes Leader: UV Steriliser Replaced, 0 Bacteria

Home 9 Case Studies and Results 9 M/V Hermes Leader: UV Steriliser Replaced, 0 Bacteria
Key results
0 bacteria detected
3 verified lab tests
0 UV sterilisers needed

The Challenges

  • Dependence on a UV steriliser for bacteria control
  • No scale protection in piping and calorifier
  • Need to ensure safe water across accommodation
  • Requirement to validate performance with lab tests

The Solution

Two HM45 units were fitted to the cold water outlet and hot water return to the calorifier in January 2015 at Busan, South Korea. The signal maintains bacteria-free drinking water and disrupts the conditions that bond scale to surfaces in the calorifier and pipework.

Key Outcomes

R

No bacteria detected in follow-up tests

R

HM45 units replaced the UV steriliser

R

Lab testing met drinking water standards

R

Calorifier and pipework gained scale protection

Independent Verification

All results in this study were measured and verified by third-party facilities managers and technical staff.
