Water & Wastewater Services for the Food & Beverage Industry

Water quality is critical at every phase of production in the food and beverage industry, from equipment sanitation to recipe formulations. Poor water quality can affect odor, taste, and the overall quality of the finished product. Water used to clean or rinse equipment must meet specific regulatory requirements before it can be discharged to the sewer or waterway—making wastewater quality just as important.

How We Help Food & Beverage Manufacturers Achieve Success

Practical Applications can examine food & beverage manufacturers’ water output to help minimize contaminants and save money.

1

Minimize Contaminants

Practical Applications helps food & beverage manufacturers manage common pollutants in the industry such as Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD5), and Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG). FOG in particular is one of the more difficult byproducts to remove prior to discharge to the sewer.

Dissolved Air Floatation (DAF) has been one of the most successful technologies that we have employed to manage the FOG. As an added benefit, DAF typically reduces both TSS and BOD5, further reducing surcharge costs.

Save Money

Food and Beverage manufacturers struggle with water and sewer costs. In fact, municipalities often over charge food and beverage because they miscount the sewer charges. Accurately measuring the water use and reducing pollutants are two measures that are critical to managing and reducing costs.

Practical Applications can help ensure your manufacturing facility isn’t overspending on water usage.
