LVPG to participate in "Brau Beviale" in Nuremberg

LVPG International will attend this years "Brau Beviale" (Nuremberg). The event will take place in November (12.11.-14.11.) / Hall 4, booth 420. LVPG "On-site" disinfection generating systems provide ecologically friendly cost effective solutions to the many disinfecting / cleaning / sanitising applications within the brewing industry. LVPG, as a leading exponent of "On-site, low Chlorine" disinfection systems offers a real alternative to the tradtional cleaning methods currently employed in this industry. LVPG systems are installed world wide and are based upon sound operating principles. We look forward to the opportunity of discussing with our industry partners how LVPG systems may be able to benefit your business.

Fraport and LVPG work with airlines to provide safe drinking water to passengers

LVPG International meet with several european airlines at a meeting in Frankfurt International Airport, Germany. Potable (drinking) water on aircaft and the measures required to ensure that passenger safety is not compromised formed a key component at the two day event. LVPG was invited to present details of the "On-site water disinfection" systems, manufactured and supplied by LVPG and it's partners, to airports world wide. This was followed by a visit to the "Water hall" where attendees had the opportunity to see the LVPG system in operation. This system has been installed since early 2005 and is a critical component in the provision of a safe, high quality drinking water to in excess of 800 visiting aircraft each day. Fraport and it's partners are actively engaged in many projects to ensure that services provided at Frankfurt international Airport continue to meet and in many cases exceed the expectations of its customers.

LVPG spans the world of aviation

No matter where in the world or how big or small the Airports needs LVPG can proudly claim to offer a reliable, cost effective solution to the "potable water" disinfection demands of our clients. In May of 2008 LVPG added yet another Airport to the growing list of clients using the LPD series "On-site" water disinfection systems. LVPG systems are capable of supplying, when required, in excess of 800,000 litres of "TVO" compliant "Potable" water for supply to visiting aircraft on a daily basis.

A simple solution to a complex problem

The health and wellbeing of the young, old, and infirm, places a heavy responsibility on those entrusted with their care. Those seeking attention in hospitals and places of care, by their definition, are more susceptible to infection than the general population. Places of care (hospitals, clinics, convalescent facilities et.) require water for heating, drinking, washing, and many other applications. Water is both essential and also a potential carrier of harmful pathogens. LVPG are working closely with one large hospital complex to treat water used in the multiple applications found within its facilities and safeguard against water becoming a contributor to the spread of infection within its buildings.

Better cleaning, less risk!

CIP (Cleaning in place) is a feature of the food industry. The modern food processor provides a wide selection of products using the same processing equipment. To ensure that products are prepared in the best possible manner, processing equipment must be cleaned regularly. Chemical cleaning using products such as peracetic acid is widely used. This is expensive, time consuming and has room for improvement. LVPG has been working with a large international Dairy to provide a more environmentally friendly, cost effective, improved solution. LVPG has successfully demonstrated, both in the laboratory as well as in a real production environment, the benefits of employing LPD series "on-site" disinfection systems. 

Water quality at Airports get government attention

Frank Voigtländer, Technical director at LVPG, recently attended an "Airport Hygiene" workshop hosted by the Frankfurt state health department. The work shop was held close to Frankfurt Airport where LVPG have their new generation of water disinfection sytems installed.

Completion of Phase III upgrade at Frankfurt International airport (Fraport)

In September of 2007, Fraport completed the upgrade of the aircraft potable water delivery system with the installation by LVPG of a complete water quality measurement / monitoring system. Several water testing points are located across the water delivery system. Parameters constantly monitored include (pH, Redox, and Chlorine content). The information gathered, is available over an Ethernet connection for analysis and audit trail production.

 

 

 

LVPG present to Israeli farming communities

For the past two years LVPG and our partner IPE Ltd, of Haifa, Israel, have been working closely with sectors of Israel’s agricultural community. In conjunction with Israel’s department of agriculture LVPG recently took part in a seminar to address the role of water quality and its effect on this sector. LVPG presented results achieved when using the LVPG on site water disinfection systems. These results where from both laboratory and “field” tests under the supervision of the Department of Agriculture. The presentation described the unique features of the LVPG as well as demonstrating the commercial benefits based upon field tests carried out. The presentation was attended by some 60 attendees. For further information please contact LVPG directly...

LVPG and University of Munich:

LVPG, the University of Munich, and Brüterei-Süd a large chicken growing concern and part of the Wiesenhof group, supported the study of the microbiological quality of water fed to chicken during the growing period and its effect upon the food consumption and general health of the birds. Further LVPG carried out additional analysis of food to weight ration, survivability, and weight at processor. Taken in combination with international testing, carried out over the past 24 months, LVPG is now commercialising products for this market. For further information, please contact LVPG directly...

More and More household implement the LVPG physical water conditioning unit:

As oil prices rise, house stocks age, and water quality fluctuates, households are taking a closer look at costs. Repairing and replacing leaking, corroded or heavily “scaled” pipes add to the costs of running a home. LVPG are now actively selling water conditioning rings for use in private households. These devices require no additional power source, are easy to install and feedback from many satisfied customers attests to the benefits from using the devices.

 

 

LVPG install LPD System in Newcastle University as part of BaWaPla project

In June 2007, Frank Voigtlaender visited Newcastle upon Tyne and with the support on the Dept of Marine Science and Technology Dept installed an “Onsite disinfection system” to be used by the University in their research activities associated with the development of Ballast Water Treatment Systems for use on sea going vessels. This project is sponsored by the European Union. LVPG, Newcastle University and partners will develop.

ITU Turkey

In April of 2007 LVPG installed an LPD “On-site” AnoFluid Generator at Istanbul Technical University (ITU) as part of the BaWaPla (Ballast Water Treatment system), an EU funded development project comprising Third level Universities, and private industry. The purpose of this project is to develop ballast water treatment systems for installation on seagoing vessels. The system will be designed to meet IMO (International Maritime Organisation) proposed standards. The device will be used as a test platform for a ballast water treatment plant capable of using raw seawater, in conjunction with this device to produce an effective disinfectant to treat ballast water.

Water is the only drink for a wiseman!

Macau International Airport (MIA) is located in one of the fast growing regions of China. It is fast becoming a favorite holiday resort with both Asian and International travellers and a direct competitor to Las Vegas. As the popularity of the location increases so does the demands on the infrastructure (holtels, resataurants, transport etc). With forward thinking abd planning CAM (Macau International Airport Co. Ltd) continues grow in pace with these changes. As part of CAM's ongoing commitment to providing world class services, a decsion was taken in mid 2006 to review and where possible improve services provided to the increasing number of visiting aircraft. With particular referenece to the water (potable) quality provided, CAM, after extensive research. slelected a system similar to that employed at Germany's largest airport and one of the worlds businest transport hubs, Frankfurt International Airport. A self contained "water cabin" was commissioned from LVPG International GmbH the suppliers of a similar system to Frankurt. This system was installed in late 2006 and was fully commissioned in early 2007. Water can be uploaded onto aircraft and remain in the internal aircraft tanks for a considerable period of time (days). The LVPG system has been inplemented to provide a further level of protection to the travelling public by providing additional disinfecting and thereby extending the "freshness" of the water .

 

For further details please follow the link to the official Macau International Website and the relevant "Newsletter" announcing the installation of the system.

Controlling “Scale Build up” at Plastic Parts Manufacturer

ALU KUNSTSTOFFTECHNIK GmbH is a member of the TECTRO group of companies. The company, a leader in the production of plastic parts, is DIN ISO 9001 compliant, and an “A list” supplier to the automobile industry. Customers include Trelleborg, Deutz, MAN, Daimler Chrysler and Bosch. There are 150 persons employed at the production facility in Bavaria the plant makes use of 20 plastic forming systems to meet the demand of their client base. It is imperative that the production cycle perform with the minimum of “down time”.

Due to temperatures involved in the production process, the extrusion systems and feeding pipes used to carry water to and from the systems suffer from considerable “scaling” which in turn leads to an unacceptable amount of “System downtime” for cleaning of feed pipes and systems themselves. Cleaning alone has not proven totally effective. It was planned to replace all pipes and install water softening systems (ion exchanger) to provide soft water. For more information, contact LVPG directly.

Hatching a new approach to rearing chickens on the Golan Heights

water is a precious commodity, especially in Israel. Keeping water fresh and fit for consumption is very important especially when rearing 35,000 chickens. The water is used not only to feed the birds but also for General hygiene. The birds live in barns and the environment requires careful monitoring to ensure that possible outbreaks of disease are controlled. Traditionally a wide range of disinfectants, detergents, and anti-biotics have been employed. Legislation is forcing breeders to re-consider these techniques and search for more ecologically sound offerings. LVPG has discussed these needs with the chicken breeding community, and now offers a system tailored specifically to their requirements. AnoFluid an extremely effective disinfecting agent, is produced by the LVPG series of Systems and dosed in small quantities directly into the watersupply for the barns. The Fluid can also used to "wash down" and disinfect the premises between batches, as well as used in the misting systems used for temperature control. The fluid keeps water delivery pipes free of biofilm, a breeding ground for harmful bacteria, as well as providing an effective deterrent against E-coli and many other harmful bacteria and viruses prevelant in traditional chicken rearing barns. For more information, contact mlaverty(at)lvpg-international.de.

Water “conditioning” in meat processing plant

The Meat Processing Plant is the biggest in Germany’s Odenwald region. A total of 40,000 pigs and 4,000 cattle are processed through the facility each year. “Lime-scale” in the water is a major problem. The existing decalcifying system makes use of salt to “soften” the water. The facility requires 50 m3 of water per day.Cost of consumables (salt) is approximately.
