Food processing

Many food processing plants today are literally washing profits down the drain.

This industry typically uses a large volume of water to process food products and clean plant equipment, yielding large amounts of wastewater that must be treated.

Excessive water use and wastewater production adds financial and ecological burdens to the industry and to the environment. However, food processors can take actions that will dramatically reduce water use, wastewater production, and the high costs associated with these problems.

Water cost reduction

We appreciate that whilst financial and environmental concerns can be huge drivers in directing you towards a full water management service the greatest concerns are often determined by the following:

  • How much time/manpower will we have to dedicate to delivering this?
  • How will this effect production/operations?
  • Will lines need to be closed?
  • Will works you undertake effect water quality/pressure?
  • How much will it cost?

We understand that all costs have an impact on your bottom-line as does limiting productivity; in recognising this relationship we are able to devise a strategy that minimises the impact on your business. We can undertake works out of hours, for example during the night, or if your business operates 24/7 we can undertake in stages during agreed quiet periods.
