Berson at Singapore International Water Week

"In just its third year SIWW has become the most important regional water meeting, attracting some the most influential figures in the global water industry," comments Berson's Managing Director Paul Buijs. "Sustainable Cities is the theme of this year’s summit, and as we are leaders in the use of UV for water and wastewater treatment for urban areas, we considered it important to be represented. We also feel that the IUVA Conference, which runs at the same time, is the ideal platform for us to present a paper entitled ‘Lessons learned from 10 years of municipal UV water reuse treatment in the US’," Paul adds.

Berson's booth will be located in the Netherlands Water Pavilion, which will also feature many of Holland's other leading water companies. Holland is one of the nations most at risk from the environmental effects of climate change so, not surprisingly, it is also one of the most forward-thinking in terms of environmental technology.

Based in the Netherlands, Berson specialises in municipal applications and will be showing its InLine and InLine+ range of closed-vessel UV disinfection systems. Capable of treating water and wastewater flows as high as 5000 m3/hour, they have a unique design where the UV lamps are angled at 90o to the water flow. This not only means a more effective distribution of UV light to the passing fluid, it also means a much smaller footprint, allowing easy installation and servicing.
