Wastewater treatment in the food industry

The volume of wastewater can be reduced during food processing by using measurement technology when discharging products from the lines. With less rinse water, fewer phases between two products, or between product and cleaning detergents, you can protect the environment and enjoy real cost savings.

Our expertise in the field

By relying on the right measurement technology from Endress+Hauser, the changeover phase can be optimally designed.

• Discover our wide range of process instrumentation

One of the most important first steps is monitoring water consumption, because only then can measures be carried out.

Our expertise in the field

Our electromagnetic flowmeters precisely measure the volume of fresh water that is used, as well as the amount of wastewater. The wastewater can be analyzed either on-site or in the lab.

• Use Proline Promag 10L flowmeter with a weight-optimized sensor and high cost-effectiveness.

Any wastewater that collects during the cleaning process has to be neutralized before being fed into the sewage network, thus ensuring compliance with the strict thresholds outlined in environmental regulations.

Our expertise in the field

Neutralization, buffer and storage tanks containing acids and alkaline solutions are monitored with innovative measurement technology from Endress+Hauser.

• Rely on digital pH sensors with Memosens technology to continuously measure the pH value.
• Monitor the flow volume with highly-precise electromagnetic flowmeters.
• Prevent your tanks from overfill with point level switches from the Liquiphant family.
• Use membrane filtration as a unique technology for industrial water treatment.

In accordance with government regulations, parameters such as pH, temperature and wastewater quantity are not only continuously monitored, but also recorded.

Our expertise in the field

Our data managers immediately know when threshold tolerances are exceeded and generates alarms. The fully-automated sampler in the Liquistation series draws test samples on a regular basis so that additional parameters such as COD (chemical oxygen demand) can be analyzed.

• Rely on automatic water samplers when reliable water sampling is key.
• Improve your data recording using the advanced data manager Memograph RSG45.

Regular maintenance on all instrumentation is highly recommended. From pH and oxygen content measurement, to analyzers, with regular replacement of the expendable materials, the option exists to complete a corresponding maintenance agreement with Endress+Hauser.
