Reclaimed FnB Wastewater

Recycling wastewater in the food and beverage (F&B) industry is essential for reducing water consumption, lowering costs, and promoting sustainability in an increasingly water-scarce world. Advanced treatment technologies enable the safe reuse of process water for cleaning, cooling, and non-potable applications, minimizing waste and ensuring regulatory compliance. By optimizing water recovery, the industry can enhance operational efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and strengthen ESG commitments, making wastewater recycling a key driver of sustainable growth.

Biological, physical, and chemical treatment methods are commonly used in the food and beverage industry, but each presents challenges in terms of cost, operational complexity, and environmental impact. Biological treatment systems—whether aerobic or anaerobic—require careful monitoring and control of conditions such as oxygen levels, temperature, and microbial health, leading to high operational and maintenance demands. Anaerobic systems, while producing biogas, can generate odour and require long retention times and large footprints. Physical processes like screening and sedimentation are often insufficient alone and require regular maintenance to avoid system disruptions. Chemical treatments, including coagulation, flocculation, and precipitation, rely on continuous chemical input, generating significant sludge volumes and secondary waste. These approaches, while widely adopted, are not always environmentally sustainable and can contribute to high operational costs and resource consumption.

Hydroleap recognizes the significance of conserving water and minimizing the environmental footprint in the water-intensive food production industry. To accomplish these objectives, the company employs advanced electrochemical water technologies, specifically electrocoagulation (EC) and electrooxidation (EO). Through these innovative processes, Hydroleap successfully transforms wastewater into high-quality reusable water for various purposes. With its EC method, Hydroleap achieves remarkable outcomes, including an impressive 80% removal of Oil and Grease (O&G), a reduction of up to 70% in Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), as well as an impressive 85% removal of Total Suspended Solids (TSS). This process is typically integrated into a larger wastewater treatment system and results in effluent that is of reusable quality.

Additionally, Hydroleap’s electrochemical technologies offer a lower lifecycle cost, are easy to operate, and are an environmentally friendly treatment solution, making them a promising option for food and beverage wastewater treatment in the industry. Hydroleap’s technical and environmental services guarantee compliance with strict discharge and reuse standards, ensuring that their food and beverage customers receive quality service.
