 Capabilities

 **Ingredient (Production) Water**

Production facilities need a continuous and safe supply of water. Veolia’s technologies ensure that the production of ingredient water is reliable, cost effective, and meets the highest quality standards that your operation demands.

**Utility Water**  
Food and Beverage manufacturers rely upon their utility operations to provide reliable steam and cooling water to support production needs. Veolia’s equipment and chemical technologies effectively produce the type of water your utilities need to ensure steam quality, heat exchange efficiency and environmental compliance.

**Product Filtration**  
Ensure product quality and clarity with Veolia’s fine filtration technologies. These systems are a safe and economical method to remove suspended solids and other unwanted particles from your product.

**Wastewater**  
Veolia is experienced in helping clients reduce their financial exposure and comply with discharge requirements and stringent environmental regulations.

**Anaerobic Treatment**  
Convert Waste & Wastewater to Energy  
Anaerobic treatment technologies offer a dual benefit for food and beverage facilities. They simultaneously treat a wide range of waste and wastewater streams while creating energy-rich biogas as a by-product that can be used to produce “green” electricity or heat.

**Water Recycling & Reuse**  
Food production is a water-intensive industry. Veolia understands this and is able to help clients meet water reduction goals and minimize their environmental impact by implementing technologies that convert wastewater into water that can be reused elsewhere.

**Nutrient Recovery**  
Veolia’s sustainable approach to water can transform waste into valuable by-products, such as fertilizer, that can be reused or sold.

A leading confectionery company approached Veolia to design a complete wastewater process to replace their aging treatment facility. Veolia designed, installed, and commissioned a robust process that utilizes several technologies to remove solids, BOD, nitrogen, and other contaminants. In addition to successfully treating the wastewater, the facility produces green energy as a by-product to help offset the energy costs.

## FAQ about water solutions for food and beverage companies



 

 

 



###  How is water used in the food and beverage industry chain?

  

**Process water**   
Process water is used for equipment and installation cleaning, washing of raw materials, the transportation of products, flushing and much more. The water is typically potable water grade, a requirement for product contact applications.  
Our technologies: [Ionsoft](https://www.veoliawatertechnologies.com/en/technologies/ionsoft "Ionsoft™ "), [Sirion](https://www.veoliawatertechnologies.com/en/technologies/sirion "SIRION™"), [Rapide Strata](https://www.veoliawatertechnologies.com/en/technologies/rapide-strata "RAPIDE STRATA™")

  
**Ingredient water**   
Ingredient water is a higher-grade process water. It is typically used in the fabrication of soft drinks, bottled waters and infant nutrition products. Potable water is treated using hygienically designed equipment to manage microbial contamination risks while minimizing the use of chemicals that could compromise the end product.  
Our technologies: [Nurion](https://www.veoliawatertechnologies.com/en/products/nurion "Nurion™"), [PurBev / HyBev](https://www.veoliawatertechnologies.com/en/technologies/berkefeld-purbev-0 "Berkefeld PurBev®"), [Sirion](https://www.veoliawatertechnologies.com/en/technologies/sirion "SIRION™")

  
**Utility water**   
Food and beverage manufacturers rely on their utility operations to provide reliable steam and cooling water to support production needs.   
Our technologies: [Ionsoft](https://www.veoliawatertechnologies.com/en/technologies/ionsoft "Ionsoft™ "), [Sirion](https://www.veoliawatertechnologies.com/en/technologies/sirion "SIRION™"), [Rapide Strata](https://www.veoliawatertechnologies.com/en/technologies/rapide-strata "RAPIDE STRATA™")

  
**Wastewater and sludge**

Food and beverage manufacturing results in wastewaters with high levels of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD) and nutrients due to the presence of leftover organic materials. Treatment is often required to ensure discharge compliance and avoid costly penalties. Variability in production runs can make treatment more complicated. Within this application, we offer anaerobic treatment and nutrient recovery.

Our technologies: [Idraflot](https://www.veoliawatertechnologies.com/en/products/idraflot "IDRAFLOT®"), Biothane, [AnoxKaldnes](https://www.anoxkaldnes.com/en "No results")

**Water recycling and reuse**

Food production is a water-intensive industry. Short-loop recycling is used within processes to optimize in-process water usage and reduce the load on the wastewater plant. Wastewater can be appropriately treated and recycled back to non-food contact applications.

Our technologies: [Neosep](https://www.veoliawatertechnologies.com/en/products/biosep-neosep "Biosep™ / Neosep™ "), [Sirion](https://www.veoliawatertechnologies.com/en/technologies/sirion "SIRION™"), [Uflex](https://www.veoliawatertechnologies.com/en/technologies/uflex "UFLEX™")
