The food and beverage industry relies heavily on water for various unit operations and processes. Key areas of water use include ingredient mixing, cooking and heating, fermentation, carbonation, reactor and facility cleaning, cooling, brewing, and distillation.

Managing effluents in the food and beverage sector presents several challenges:

• Variability in Waste Composition: Effluent composition varies significantly depending on the type of food or beverage processed, affecting treatment requirements.
• High Organic Loads: Elevated levels of organic matter (BOD and COD) can strain treatment systems.
• Presence of Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG): High levels of FOG, if untreated, can interfere with biological treatment and membrane filtration processes.
• Fluctuating Temperatures and pH Levels: These changes can impact treatment efficiency.
• Chemical Contaminants: Cleaning agents, sanitizers, and other chemicals complicate wastewater treatment.

We offer tailored wastewater treatment solutions for the food and beverage industry, incorporating advanced technologies to address these challenges:

• Robust Pretreatment: Removal of oils, grease, and TSS to prepare wastewater for further biological treatment.
• Anaerobic and Biological Treatment: Efficient degradation of organic waste.
• Membrane Filtration: Recycling and reuse of water through advanced membrane techniques.
• Sludge Handling Systems: Effective management and disposal of sludge generated during treatment.
• Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) Systems: Using MEE/MVRE and ATFD to achieve ZLD.

Our innovative solutions help the food and beverage industry reduce its environmental footprint while lowering capital and operational expenditures (CAPEX and OPEX), enhancing overall operational performance.
