Improvement of water quality and cost savings in water treatment
Water is a major component of food and is fundamental to a multiplicity of industrial processes. However, as less than one percent of the total amount of water available worldwide is suitable for drinking or for food production, industry and private users compete for “clean” water. Depending on the source of raw water, pre-treatment and requirements of particular plant units and also the time of year, the composition and particle content of water to be treated varies. After positive pilot plant testing, the Pall AriaTM FB 12 from Pall GmbH was commissioned in November 2009 as the first unit of its type in a brewery to meet requirements for cost savings in water treatment and filtration.
