LATEST INSIGHTS ON WATER & WASTEWATER TREATMENT FOR THE FOOD & BEVERAGE INDUSTRY

Robust Systems Keep Wastewater Flowing Smoothly

• Adapting To A New Era Of Food Processing

  Many food processing facilities operating today were designed and built to accommodate consumer habits of a bygone era. As those commercial markets have evolved, and industry has adapted to the changes, the wastewater plants at those sites are no longer capable of processing the waste generated during production.

• 4 Benefits Of Electrocoagulation For Food And Beverage Wastewater Treatment

  With a global population of over seven billion people, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of companies in the world that produce the food and beverages that are needed to meet this global demand. These companies require massive amounts of water to produce their products, and those products result in equal amounts of wastewater. It’s simple enough to just discharge the wastewater into a nearby stream or surface water source and be finished with it. However, with constantly changing environmental regulations and pressure to be more environmentally conscious, food and beverage companies face increasing requirements of beverage and food wastewater treatment.

• Advances In Flowmeter Technology

  This article disucsses two trends turning the flowmeter industry on its ear: advances in flowmeter diagnostics and the adoption of smartphone-like technology to improve access and communications.

• The Value Independent Certification Brings To Global Water Stewardship

  Every year, World Water Week, a conference organized by the Stockholm International Water Institute(SIWI), brings together experts from around the world to discuss global water issues. This year’s event focused on Water, Ecosystems and Human Development, with discussions concentrating on how business, NGOs and government agencies are collaborating to address water-related challenges.

• Meat-Free Diets Could Cut Our 'Water Footprint' In Half, Say Scientists

  Three thousand litres of water — that is the amount needed to produce the food each British person eats every day. This is according to a new study into the “water footprint” of diets in Western Europe, conducted by the European Commission and published in Nature Sustainability.

• Advanced UV Technology Reduces Downtime And Improves Efficiency (Article)

  Industrial companies need reliable water treatment technology, since failure of a water system may result in downtime for production, with significant financial impacts. Ultraviolet (UV) technology is used for water treatment in various industries such as microelectronics, food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, and many other industry segments.

• Sanitary District Generates EPA Award By Turning Trash To Treasure

  The Greater Lawrence Sanitary District (GLSD) in North Andover, MA, was one of 28 organizations nationwide to be honored for an innovative water or wastewater project in the most recent PISCES Recognition Program sponsored by the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF). PISCES stands for Performance and Innovation in the SRF Creating Environmental Success.

• A Cool Method For Industrial Water Reuse

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

• Make The Most Of Food And Beverage Effluent

  As focus on resource recovery intensifies, food and beverage operations are under a particularly large microscope. An anaerobic digester designed for the food and beverage industry can create value out of the space’s unique wastewater.

• An Unconventional Approach To Dairy Wastewater Treatment

  If you’ve ever looked into the ice cream freezers at your local grocery store you can imagine all the different ingredients you’d find at the ice cream factory: cream, sugar, chocolate, fruit, nuts, milk, syrups, and so on.

• Methods To Control Odors From Anaerobic Digester Plants And Prevent Nuisance To Nearby Communities

  Anaerobic digestion is a practical and efficient technology to utilize considerable amounts of organic waste from intensive animal production and food processing and wastage during distribution/consumption, municipal waste, etc. to produce methane gas for electricity generation, local/process heating, and direct injection into the gas supply network.

• The Advantages Of Automating Wastewater Treatment

  Wastewater treatment operations are beginning to embrace the power of automation. How can it help? And how is it implemented?

• How To Power Your Treatment Plant And Reduce Costs With Waste-To-Energy Technology

  Electricity is a major cost for industry operations, and the cost of meeting environmental regulations is right up there as well. At the same time, industries are compelled to improve sustainability and lower their carbon footprints.

• BlueTech Forum Reveals Water Technology Future

  Technologies which could transform the shape of the water industry of the future will be on show at the fifth BlueTech Forum, to be held in San Francisco.
