Project experience / Bottled-water and juice production

Food & Beverage Process-Water RO Reference

A food and beverage producer in Hunan needed treated process water for bottled water and juice production. Hardness and microbiological concerns in the incoming water prompted a treatment approach combining pretreatment, reverse osmosis, disinfection, treated-water storage and variable-speed supply.

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.

Capacity basis

Peak production flow, daily demand and operating hours

Water challenge

Conditions that control the process.

Hardness affecting production-line scaling, together with microbiological control needs for production water.

Target water use and quality

Set the objective at the point of use.

Process water suitable for the bottling and beverage-production duty, with storage and disinfection included in the treatment approach.

Typical treatment train
