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 Systems:

Veolia brings decades of experience in designing and providing Ingredient Water systems to the Food & Beverage industry.  These systems combine robust design and high-quality materials-of-construction to maintain production and extend equipment life.  We work with beverage producers to understand current and future SKUs being produced and we use our knowledge of your specifications to design flexible systems that easily accommodates future expansion plans, while maximizing production uptime, water-use-ratio and energy efficiency.

Wastewater and Recovered Water Systems for Reuse:

Food & beverage wastewater often contains high amounts of organics (BOD/COD), nutrients and suspended solids. Veolia’s industry knowledge and treatment technologies can turn your wastewater or solids stream into an energy resource to fuel your wastewater treatment plant. We offer Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) technologies using proven ZeeWeed ultrafiltration membranes, as well as a complete line of advanced anaerobic digestion technologies that convert bio waste into energy.  Reuse water systems recover treated wastewater to send high-quality water to utility use-points (boilers/condensers, cooling towers, product washing/CIP) or to the front of the influent water system.

Source Water Treatment for Process and Utilities:

Often, Ingredient Water systems provide a water quality that is of a higher quality than the needs of the utility side of the business.  To maximize the water-use-ratio of the production facility, stand-alone utility water treatment systems are utilized to treat water for utility use-points such as boilers, cooling towers, pasteurizers and clean-in-place systems.

Using a variety of equipment and chemistry technologies, we provide effective water treatment for applicable use by removing suspended and dissolved solids and other impurities. Our broad portfolio of solutions includes hollow fiber ultrafiltration membranes, media filters and clarifiers for water clarification and reverse osmosis and nanofiltration for dissolved solids reduction.  We also use various chemistries such as KlarAid, PolyFloc and FoodPro SA and easy-to-use antiscalants, membrane cleaners and other cooling & boiler water treatment chemistries to help you save energy, decrease costs, and increase efficiency.
