Disinfection For Pseudomonas Spp Elimination At Galbani Dairy, Italy

At Galbani, one of Italy’s premier dairy producers known for its fresh mozzarella, controlling microbial contamination is essential to preserving product quality and shelf life. Pseudomonas spp., notorious for thriving in moist environments and resisting chlorine, posed a persistent threat across their production lines in Corteolona and Casale Cremasco.

To combat this challenge, Galbani deployed Atlantium Technologies’ cutting-edge HOD™ UV disinfection systems. The solution harnesses Hydro-Optic Disinfection, using Total Internal Reflection (TIR) to deliver uniform, high-efficiency UV exposure that neutralizes even chlorine-resistant bacteria—without producing disinfection by-products.

Three HOD units were installed at Corteolona, enabling the elimination of chlorine use entirely, while a fourth system at Casale Cremasco safeguarded the mozzarella production line. The results were dramatic: consistent, high-quality water output and complete bacterial inactivation, including stubborn Pseudomonas strains.

By integrating Atlantium’s environmentally responsible, high-performance water treatment, Galbani not only protected their product integrity but also streamlined operations and improved sustainability—underscoring their commitment to both safety and excellence.
