Water treatment systems for food production
Successful processes and products with the right water
In the industry, a lot of water is used. As an ingredient for the production of soft drinks, alcoholic beverages, pharmaceutical products, and cosmetics, for example. But even more often as a source for applications such as cooling water, steam, and humidification. In both cases, specific requirements are set to ensure process continuity or the quality of the final product. Wairtec provides suitable water technologies to prevent damage and deposits in various water-carrying circuits.
Ingredient water
Water is used in the production of products such as soft drinks, beer, and alcoholic beverages. This water often needs to meet specific requirements, such as those outlined in food safety regulations. Depending on the water quality used (tap water, well water), Wairtec can advise you on the proper water treatment to ensure the water meets the required standards. Techniques that can be applied for this purpose include: Filtration, Softening, Reverse osmosis, and Disinfection.
Cooling system water
In a cooling tower, the cooling capacity of water is utilized. Specifically, when water droplets evaporate, heat is drawn from the environment (= adiabatic cooling). Due to splash losses and adiabatic cooling, water is partially lost. These losses are compensated by supplementing with fresh water. Through evaporation, the cooling water becomes more concentrated, which can lead to problems with salt deposition and corrosion.
Wairtec provides equipment to prevent issues such as: Scale deposition, Corrosion of piping systems, heat exchangers, etc.,Iron and other sludge deposits, Microbiological contamination (Legionella)
Boiler Feed Water
Wairtec supplies systems to soften the feed water for a steam boiler. This protects the steam boiler from scale build-up.
Reverse osmosis water can also be highly beneficial for you. Due to the low mineral content, the boiler water can be concentrated more times. This results in savings on energy and boiler chemicals. Additionally, your condensate system will be better protected against corrosion. Ask our experts to assess the benefits for you and the savings you can achieve.
