Recover and reuse water
Using filtration, excess water from processes such as milk concentration for milk powder or fruit concentration for foods and beverages can be treated to a quality that allows it to be reused in food processes.
Flush water, sometimes known as white water, can be purified by filtration for reuse in the process – either for cleaning or in the product itself. Solids from this water, such as milk or juice, can also be separated by filtration for reprocessing, where practicable.
Similarly, chemicals from water used for cleaning in place can be separated from flush water and reused, allowing the purified water to be recycled in the process.
