Water and Wastewater Solutions For The Food and Beverage Industry

  1. (E)-2-Nonenal In Beer 4/5/2015

    Numerous compounds contribute to changes in beer flavor as it becomes stale. One of these compounds, (E)-2-nonenal, has been investigated as a major source of the papery/cardboard flavor that develops in aged beer.

  2. Milk Waste - BOD, FOG, PO4 1/26/2016

    A milk producer operates an evaporated milk production facility that generates an average of 58,000 gpd of contaminated water with spikes of 1,200 gallons up to 12 times per day. Two 2,000 gallon batch tanks are used for pH adjustment before discharge. Most of the flow goes through the tanks.

  3. Helping Breweries Cut Natural Gas Costs And Waste Gas Emissions 4/13/2022

    No matter whether consumers choose a pilsner, an ale, or another popular type of beer, there is a critical focus at nearly all breweries today on their production process energy (natural gas) costs and plant environmental compliance (waste gas emissions). Failing to pay attention to the efficiency of these processes at breweries or any other type of food and beverage processing plant can lead to cost competitiveness issues and hefty regulatory fines.

  4. Conducting Accurate Conductivity Measurement In Industrial Applications 3/12/2019

    While some water quality parameters may get more attention in industrial settings, few are more critical than conductivity. Understanding conductivity monitoring for industrial applications — where it is needed, how it works, and how to leverage the appropriate instruments and standards in order to pinpoint it — will unlock huge gains in efficiency, effectiveness, and regulatory compliance.

  5. Revolutionary Sludge Management Comes To America 5/30/2014

    Wastewater utilities have a new opportunity to turn their sludge (biosolids) into something special.

  6. Supplemental Aeration System Reduces High BOD Levels And Solves Odor Issues 9/1/2018

    A leading fruit juice company had expanded over the past ten years and increased wastewater flow from 7,000 to 11,000 gallons per day (gpd), without upgrading its wastewater treatment plant. Read the full case study to learn how after a Mazzei AirJection system was installed, dissolved oxygen levels increased in the aeration basins, which immediately eliminated the odors.

  7. Wastewater Treatment Professionals In The Poultry Industry Are Using SDOX® Technology To Overcome Operational Challenges 11/30/2021

    This is the second in a series of articles and case studies examining the emergence of sustainably-driven innovation within the wastewater treatment functions of the food and beverage industry as sustainability and production issues intersect and influence how companies manage their wastewater.

  8. Maximizing Speed And Accuracy In Microbiological Testing 6/18/2020

    A quality outcome is only as reliable as the components and processes used to create and test it. When it comes to municipal drinking water, food, beverages, wastewater effluent, and other industrial applications, having reliable microbiological testing reference materials to benchmark quality control (QC) processes is essential. Here are some important points to consider when establishing or managing QC programs.

  9. Aeration Considerations: What To Know Before You Buy 5/15/2019

    Unlike most municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) applications, industrial wastewater can vary widely from one application to another, even within the same plant, depending on the process being run. Industrial wastewater professionals — especially those facing specific challenges or planned volume increases — can benefit from comparing key points of differentiation in jet aeration system options before making any upgrade.

  10. AquaSBR Sequencing Batch Reactor: Food And Beverage Industry 12/6/2023

    This application note explores Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) systems that have been installed worldwide in a variety of applications, ranging from a few gallons per minute (GPM) to thousands of GPM.
