Food production of all types requires vast amounts of water. Every stage of processing requires different water. Whether it’s organic waste from meat processing or spent grains and stillage from brewing and distilling, the end of every process is a high-strength organic wastewater that must be treated to compliance.

Pure water as an ingredient, disinfection and boiler feedwater, other process and utility water for washing and rinsing, all end in the waste stream to be treated and discharged.

But what if you could reduce the demand of source water, reuse waste water and use that waste as energy? Xylem provides solutions that not only treat waste and wastewater to meet or exceed effluent requirements, those solutions can also capture biogas that can be used for energy, and treat wastewater for water reuse.

Sustainability is a core value at Xylem and we pride ourselves in helping customers effectively meet or exceed their sustainability goals. Our systems can be configured for applications in a range of sizes.

Download our eBook to explore case study summaries that highlight successful sustainable practices across various food processing submarkets, including brewing, distilling, food processing, confectionery, and dairy. These case studies cover a wide range of applications, from disinfection to biogas capture for energy reuse.

We’ve also included links to revelant webinars on the topic, and each case study offers further resources for a deeper dive. Use this eBook as a reference when you:

• Design a new system
• Upgrade an existing system
• Develop a strategy for effective water and energy reuse in your process
