Industries / Food and Beverage

Food and Beverage

There are few industries which require as much need for purified water outside of the food & beverage industry.

Beverage bottling usually starts with municipal tap water, coming right out of the water sources from the cities where the plant resides. Tap water like this is drinkable, but usually has an element of hardness, or deposits of heavy metals (usually from the pipes that transport the water) that detract from the taste. Water softeners and reverse osmosis are perfect for creating pure, potable water. The importance of water treatment in the food industry comes from the need to remove any presence of microorganisms. To avoid any sort of degradation, water in use for cooking or specifically applied to food must be potable and of good quality. This involves the absence of dissolved minerals that make water too hard or alter its taste.

Product water makes up the majority of the fluid in the food industry, so it’s necessary to treat it to meet taste goals. For high purity, water treatment further than that needed to meet potable water requirements is frequently required.

Water Treatment Technologies

For the Food & Beverage Industry

Nanofiltration (NF)

Also known as “loose” RO rejecting constituents in the 0.01 – 0.001 µm range. Water and monovalent ions, as well as low molecular weight substances (less than 250 Dalton) pass through NF membranes. Divalent or multivalent ions, such as divalent salts, are retained. Operating pressures between 120 and 600 psi (8 – 41 bar) are typical.

Microfiltration (MF)

Also known as “loose” RO rejecting constituents in the 0.01 – 0.001 µm range. Water and monovalent ions, as well as low molecular weight substances (less than 250 Dalton) pass through NF membranes. Divalent or multivalent ions, such as divalent salts, are retained. Operating pressures between 120 and 600 psi (8 – 41 bar) are typical.

Reverse Osmosis (RO)

Also known as “loose” RO rejecting constituents in the 0.01 – 0.001 µm range. Water and monovalent ions, as well as low molecular weight substances (less than 250 Dalton) pass through NF membranes. Divalent or multivalent ions, such as divalent salts, are retained. Operating pressures between 120 and 600 psi (8 – 41 bar) are typical.

Ultrafiltration (UF) Membrane Systems

Also known as “loose” RO rejecting constituents in the 0.01 – 0.001 µm range. Water and monovalent ions, as well as low molecular weight substances (less than 250 Dalton) pass through NF membranes. Divalent or multivalent ions, such as divalent salts, are retained. Operating pressures between 120 and 600 psi (8 – 41 bar) are typical.

Multi-media Filtration (MF) Systems

Also known as “loose” RO rejecting constituents in the 0.01 – 0.001 µm range. Water and monovalent ions, as well as low molecular weight substances (less than 250 Dalton) pass through NF membranes. Divalent or multivalent ions, such as divalent salts, are retained. Operating pressures between 120 and 600 psi (8 – 41 bar) are typical.
