Water management in the food and beverage industry
Water management in the food and beverage industry
The document discusses water management in the food and beverage industry, emphasizing the importance of adhering to Germany's Drinking Water Ordinance and other relevant regulations. It highlights the necessity of water treatment to ensure high-quality production and cost efficiency.
Water Quality Standards
Water used in the industry must comply with the Drinking Water Ordinance, Mineral and Table Water Ordinance, and the German Purity Law. Specific levels of iron, manganese, and nitrate must not be exceeded. Recommendations from VLB Berlin and TU Weihenstephan are also considered for brewing water quality.
Importance of Water Treatment
Water treatment is crucial due to the scarcity of naturally suitable water at economically viable production sites. Poor water quality can negatively impact product quality, disrupt production, and increase costs.
Grünbeck's Role
Grünbeck has been a reliable partner in the industry for six decades, offering expertise in reducing water consumption and providing comprehensive solutions for water management. Their services include analysis, consultation, planning, design, production, delivery, assembly, commissioning, training, and service.
Processes for Raw Water Treatment
- Filtration: Utilizes ultrafiltration, fine filters, gravel filters, multi-layer filters, and disc/drum filters to remove particles.
- Iron/Manganese Removal: Achieved through oxidation and filtration.
- Deacidification: Involves binding CO2 via alkaline filter media or stripping.
- Desulphurisation: H2S removal using ozone, stripping, and filtration.
- Activated Carbon Adsorption: Used for dechlorination and removal of organic substances.
- Adsorption: Removes heavy metals like arsenic, fluoride, radon, and uranium.
Advanced Water Treatment Technologies
- Demineralisation: Utilizes membrane technology such as reverse osmosis and nanofiltration, achieving a recovery rate of 75-85%.
- Ultrafiltration: Produces clear and germ-free water by retaining germs, viruses, and bacteria.
- Ion Exchange Technology: Offers alternatives for demineralisation, softening, decarbonisation, and nitrate removal.
Recycling and Waste Water Technologies
Grünbeck provides modular solutions for waste water treatment, including neutralisation, filtration, flotation, bio-reactors, and membrane technologies. These processes offer ecological and economic benefits.
Sterilisation and Disinfection
Methods include UV lamps, ozone, chlorine dioxide, and ultrafiltration. UV disinfection is highlighted for its environmental friendliness and effectiveness.
Conclusion
Grünbeck's comprehensive approach to water management in the food and beverage industry ensures compliance with regulations, optimizes production processes, and supports environmental sustainability.

The demands with respect to water quality are particularly strict for the production of food and beverages. Nowadays however, water of the required quality is rarely available at production sites which are ideal from the economic point of view. Water treatment is of paramount importance to the food and beverage industry. Unfavourable water quality has an adverse effect on the quality of the product, interferes with production...

Components of both inorganic and organic origin are separated from the water at the semi-permeable membrane and are optimally held back. The membrane represents a reliable barrier to all types of microorganisms. This process technology is characterised by eco-friendliness, simple handling...
