Water in food and beverage manufacturing is for ingredient use, processing, cleaning, cooling, and steam generation. However, this heavy reliance brings challenges: high water consumption drives up costs and sustainability pressures, while strict quality standards demand extensive treatment. Poor water quality can cause scaling and fouling in boilers and chillers, reducing efficiency and increasing energy use. Wastewater generated is often high in organic waste, requiring complex treatment to meet regulations. With growing environmental regulations and water scarcity concerns, manufacturers must find smarter, more sustainable water solutions to keep operations running smoothly and responsibly.
