Ingredient water
Mineral, chlorine and microbiological control protect product consistency, flavour and appearance.
Food & beverage process water
Consistent water from ingredient to utility.
Water quality influences taste, appearance, cleaning performance, scale, steam efficiency and equipment life.
UK engineered process waterWhere water is used
Typical food & beverage water duties.
Each treatment route is selected around the process, water quality risk, operating pattern and whole life cost.
Rinse and cleaning
Repeatable water quality supports wash performance while reducing scale and residual spotting.
Boiler feed
Softened or RO makeup can reduce scale, blowdown, chemical demand and energy loss.
Cooling duties
Conditioned makeup supports stable heat transfer while dosing and monitoring control operational risk.
Common challenges
What typically drives the project.
- Managing taste, odour, chlorine and variable mineral content in incoming water.
- Maintaining hygienic design and avoiding stagnant sections during production changes.
- Balancing water quality with recovery, cleaning frequency and operating cost.
- Maintaining production during sanitation, servicing and filter or membrane replacement.
Typical treatment
A joined up treatment route.
- Media and carbon filtration
- Water softening
- Reverse osmosis and UV
- High purity water where required
- Suitable water reuse
The final process is confirmed from representative feed water analysis and required point of use quality.
