Challenges And Solutions To Treating Beverage Wastewater

Beverage manufacturers are increasingly tasked with reclaiming and treating their effluent. As water gets more expensive and access to clean source water becomes more difficult, this trend is expected to grow. But these businesses are not water treatment experts and can often struggle to meet stringent and ever-changing effluent standards. Beverage makers can face harsh consequences if they fail to properly treat their wastewater, including fines, negative press, and even government-mandated shutdowns.

One of the keys to balancing effluent requirements while staying focused on business expertise is to rely on technologies that simplify the treatment process. Stone Brewery, Co., LLC, succeeded in through a combination of training and careful specification. Among the technologies leveraged are a series of metering pumps used for pre- and post-filter treatment, as well as to aid in system backwashing. The result was being able to open it doors in full compliance with state and county requirements.
