Water and Wastewater Solutions For The Food and Beverage Industry

71. Beware Of Problematic Wastewater Aeration Additives 8/19/2019

    Too much of a good thing can create new problems as quickly as it resolves old ones. Maintaining a proper balance of antifoaming agents and polymer additives is critical for sustaining the appropriate air bubble size and distribution needed to achieve dissolved oxygen (DO) requirements for neutralizing high biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) in many industrial and food processing wastewater applications.

72. Fish Hatchery Chooses UV Treatment 5/22/2020

    Located on the Klamath River in Hornbrook, California, Iron Gate Hatchery is a salmon and steelhead hatchery that releases fish back to the Klamath River. Due to the presence of fungus and microorganisms, hatchery yield was thwarted due to disease.

73. The DELUMPER®: A Sweet Success At ADM 11/29/2020

    ADM Cocoa Plant in Hazle Township, Pennsylvania needed help with their cocoa bean production. The plant processes two and a half million pounds of cocoa beans each day, turning them into cocoa powder, cocoa butter, and chocolate liquor. The company needed a machine to process sugar with over-sized lumps that could occur in transport or storage. Unless these agglomerated clumps were reduced to a granular form, the process could not work dependably. The machine also had to handle the large quantity of sugar processed daily and be sanitary.

75. Pasteurized Equivalent Water Treatment At High Desert Milk, Idaho, US 8/16/2024

    Learn how High Desert Milk, a cooperative in Idaho, optimized their water treatment process using HOD™ UV technology, ensuring FDA compliance while significantly reducing water and energy consumption.

76. ABB Flowmeters Help Keep Macallan Whisky At Its Peak 8/4/2021

    Accurate measurement delivered by a range of ABB flowmeters is helping the company behind the world-renowned Macallan whisky brand to maintain its high product quality standards following its move to its new 187.2M USD distillery.   

77. 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.

78. Using Supersaturated Oxygen Solutions To Suppress Sulfides And Control Odor 11/30/2021

    This is the third article in a series of articles and case studies examining the adoption of innovative solutions in water treatment and the market drivers of change influencing how companies in various industries manage their wastewater.

79. Coriolis Installation At Brewery Indicates Bright Future For SITRANS FC330 1/10/2019

    A global beverage company produces, markets, sells and distributes a variety of beverages including beer, malt, soft drinks, fruit juices and mineral water. The brewery has utilized several types of SITRANS F flowmeters from Siemens to regulate all aspects of the brewing process for more than a decade, including SITRANS F C Coriolis meters to monitor the sugar concentration in wort prior to fermentation.

80. The Rotostrainer Joins The Craft Beer Revolution 8/20/2018

    Spent hops and general brewery wastewater are natural by-products of the beer-making process and must be reused or disposed of accordingly. Some brewers are charged substantial fines for dumping high-solids wastewater into the city sewer system. With Parkson Rotostrainers, over 90% of the Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) of wastewater can be filtered out, greatly reducing the city sewer charges. Many breweries can even sell much of the spent grain and other captured solids to local farms as livestock feed, thereby profiting on an otherwise ‘waste’ product.
