Food & Beverage Water Treatment Applications

Water treatment needs vary widely in the food and beverage industry, depending on the application of the water.

From cleaning machinery to being used in food and beverage products, having clean, high-quality water is essential to all businesses in the food and beverage industry.

Applications include:

Ingredient mixing
Drinking water
Boiler and hot water treatment
Wastewater reduction
Dishwashers and steamers

Since products in this industry affect consumers, many businesses and facilities are held to very high standards of quality. The water leaving many of these facilities must meet state and federal environmental regulations as well, so it must be treated, too.

Water Treatment in the Food & Beverage Industry

Some of the most common treatment methods are:

Reverse Osmosis:

RO Systems remove both bacterial and chemical contaminants by using a semi-permeable membrane, which prevents large particles from passing through, purifying the water to create clean drinking water.
Ultraviolet (UV) Water Treatment:

UV treatment kills viruses, bacteria and other organisms that could be present in water without using harsh chemicals. The UV process retains the flavor and quality of the water and reduces potential for chemical contamination.
Commercial Water Filtration:

Water filtration takes many forms and is typically used before any other type of treatment. Since filtration can’t remove heavy metals, salt or minerals, it’s best used hand-in-hand with other treatment system. Wastewater from food and beverage processing plant typically needs to be filtered before it leaves the facility to meet environmental regulations.
Ultrafiltration:

Ultrafiltration (UF) ensures high quality, pure water that can be used as an ingredient in foods and beverages. This system purifies, separates and concentrates molecules in the water and removes it through pressure.
Deionization:

DI Treatment is common in many industries, including food and beverage. It removes minerals and ions, leaving pure water behind.

Wastewater Treatment

The food and beverage industry can create a lot of wastewater. Due to many local, state and federal regulations, this wastewater must be treated before it can leave the facility.

The process of treating wastewater can require many steps, including pre-treatment, membrane filtration, disinfection or odor removal, and more. Besco Commercial Water Treatment has the expertise, as well as the technologies, to meet your compliance standards.
