How We Treat Water in the Food & Beverage Industry

Influent Water/Source Water:

Veolia’s influent water treatment is usually the first step for any food & beverage manufacturer to make the water clean for applicable use. Using a variety of chemistry technologies, we provide effective water treatment for applicable use by removing suspended solids and other impurities. Our broad portfolio of solutions includes hollow fiber membrane media filters and sand filters for influent water clarification. We also use various chemicals including KlarAid, PolyFloc and FoodPro SA, which are cost effective and easy to use solutions.

Process Water:

With proper treatment, wastewater can be cleaned and reused for process water, such as washing and disinfection, cooling tower make-up water and boiler feedwater. Our solutions range from water disinfection systems to ultrafiltration technologies, reverse osmosis and chemistries such as antiscalants, membrane cleaners and other cooling & boiler water treatment chemistries to help you save energy, decrease costs, and increase efficiency.

Ingredient Water:

We have been providing ingredient water treatment solutions to the food & beverage industry for decades and can meet the highest quality water standards for your production facility. Our beverage reverse osmosis systems, ozone and UV systems provide the technology you need to ensure your brand is not negatively impacted by the water used in your product.

Wastewater:

Food & beverage wastewater contains high amounts of BOD and COD which needs to be treated before it can be reused or discharged. Veolia’s expert treatment can turn your wastewater stream into a water resource or your solids stream into energy to fuel your wastewater treatment plant. We offer MBR technologies using proven ZeeWeed ultrafiltration membranes, as well as a complete line of advanced anaerobic digestion technologies that convert bio waste into energy and fertilizer.
