Water and Wastewater Solutions For The Food and Beverage Industry

71. Water Into Wine 7/20/2020

    As a young engineer on a farm in California's Central Valley grappling with the challenge of injecting fertilizer into irrigation water, Angelo Mazzei didn't consider how his career would ultimately turn his knowledge of water into a deep involvement in wine. But since he crafted first high-efficiency venturi injectors in the 1970s in his garage to help improve water, fate and business have pulled Angelo Mazzei toward wine from every direction.

72. Wastewater Management In The Food Industry 11/4/2024
    Food production not only uses a lot of water in their products, but they also deal with unique wastewater challenges. These challenges are compounded by the varying nature of contaminants present in food & beverage wastewater. Treatment facilities must be designed to handle fluctuating volumes and compositions of wastewater, while maintaining consistent performance.
73. Electricity-Producing Microbes Treat Wastewater, Provide Power Source 11/15/2013

    Newly discovered electrogenic organisms could significantly reduce energy costs for the wastewater industry.

74. Dairy Farm Innovations Yield Big Environmental Benefits 4/4/2023

    From the parlor to the pasture, numerous advancements in dairy farm management are helping drive up dairy farm efficiency in North America, and that’s helping drive down environmental impact.

75. Pumps Improve Wastewater Treatment In A Sugar And Bioethanol Plant 7/24/2018

    In the sugar and bioethanol industries, robustness and reliability of the equipment are of paramount importance. The XFP pumps were taken into operation in 2013 and have been running continuously since then, without any interruption or specific maintenance.

76. 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. 

77. Innovation In Water Remediation: Specialized Electrocoagulation For Water Hardness Removal 5/10/2022

    Hardness in water can be characterized into its primary constituent mineral components, typically calcium and magnesium. Excess water hardness in a water supply creates many issues for industry, utilities, and life in general.

78. Sustainable Clarification In Food And Beverage Operations 8/5/2022

    Companies within the food & beverage industry generate significant quantities of wastewater each day. For example, a 16 oz. can of beer is about 90-95% water; however, to make that can, beer producers utilize approximately 7 times this quantity. About 2/3 to 3/4 of the water is typically discharged as wastewater to a municipal sewer system.

79. 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.

80. 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.
