Water and Wastewater Solutions For The Food and Beverage Industry

  1. Water Recycling Made Easy: A Guide To Water Reuse For Food and Beverage Manufacturers 6/20/2014

    Available water supply can be compromised by more than just drought — a challenge food and beverage manufacturers know well.

  2. Wastewater Disinfection And Energy Generation Make 'Hot' Couple 2/21/2014

    When the Pasteurization Technology Group (PTG) first presented their heat-based wastewater disinfection system to a group of environmental engineers, they didn’t get the response they expected.

  3. Here's To Microbrews And POTWs 5/27/2020

    As local breweries grow in popularity, their initial focus on hand-crafted recipes can quickly shift to business realities such as the costs and logistics of process wastewater treatment. Publicly owned treatment works (POTWs), brewery owners, and consulting engineers all have roles to play in making that trajectory smoother for up-and-coming craft and microbrewers.

  4. Optimizing Aeration Reliability In Food And Beverage Wastewater Applications 10/23/2019

    In addition to penalties for non-compliance, wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) operators in the food and beverage industry risk excessive losses caused by problems at the wastewater treatment facility.

  5. Replacing Filter Presses With Depth Filter Cartridges For Beer Clarification 10/29/2021

    Filter presses have long been used by breweries in cellar operations to clarify non-pasteurized or draft beer prior to final membrane filtering and packaging. This clarification process is essential to economical membrane filtration—beer not prepared in this manner will more quickly plug the downstream membrane filters, leading to higher processing costs.

  6. Frozen Vegetable Supplier Exceeds Effluent Requirements With MBBR 6/9/2020

    A frozen vegetable company was the premier supplier of individually quick-frozen onions, potatoes, roasted potatoes and vegetable blends to large food service companies. At their processing facility, a significant barrier to growth was faced due to an aging wastewater treatment system, which could not treat the anticipated flows that a plant expansion and production increase would generate. 

  7. A Ready-To-Ship Rental Saves The Day 3/10/2022

    Aire-02 was approached by a large sugar beet processing facility that was in desperate need of a rapid and effective solution for their deteriorating wastewater treatment system.

  8. A Cool Method For Industrial Water Reuse 4/3/2017

    By harvesting heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) condensate, industrial operations can take advantage of a cool, convenient source of clean water.

  9. Making The Best Of A Bad O2 Situation 8/18/2019

    A balanced wastewater process is a beautiful thing — plenty of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), plenty of O2, and all those hungry little microbes are fat and happy. But what can be done when dissolved oxygen (DO) takes a nosedive and there’s not enough O2 to satisfy industrial and food processing BOD? Here are some preparations to consider before wastewater treatment goes completely out of whack.

  10. Meat Processing Companies: Benefits Of Electrocoagulation 10/30/2020

    While vegetarianism and veganism have both grown in popularity in the past decade, vegans and vegetarians combined are vastly outnumbered by people who love meat. In the United States, where we have hot-dog-eating contests and food-eating challenges, we consume a lot of meat of all types. Therefore, meat-processing water treatment is required to package and process these foods within the U.S. and across the world.
