Project experience / Dairy process water

Dairy Process-Water Equipment Reference

A dairy producing pasteurized milk and fermented yogurt needed to address hardness and microbiological concerns in its groundwater supply. The treatment system uses pretreatment, double-pass reverse osmosis and a pasteurization stage for the production-water duty.

Stainless-steel pretreatment vessels, pumps and membrane equipment

Application context

Use this project experience to prepare your requirements.

For a similar application, start with your water analysis, required output and quality at the point of use. These inputs determine the equipment scope, storage, controls and acceptance criteria for your proposal.

Feed-water source

Groundwater

Capacity basis

Production-water demand and cleaning schedules

Water challenge

Conditions that control the process.

Groundwater hardness associated with pipe scaling, together with microbiological control requirements in dairy production.

Target water use and quality

Set the objective at the point of use.

Treated production water selected around the dairy process and its hygiene requirements.
