Water Treatment Plant – global manufacturing capabilities and expert installation

Case Study: Recycled water grows new product line for leading global beverage producer

Maintaining a reliable and sustainable water supply is one of the key challenges for beverage producers, especially when downstream processing takes place at production sites. A bespoke water treatment plant, in this case a water recycling system designed and built in the UK, is recycling 65% of process water at one producer’s African site, directly resulting in an innovative new green tea.

The producer is one of the world’s largest suppliers of tea and tea extracts and required a bespoke solution to a unique problem. Our solution was delivered with minimal impact on site – systems were built, tested and commissioned in the UK before shipping to East Africa.

Our client is pleased with Envirogen’s approach to solving this problem, highlighting that:

“

“We wanted to achieve a water saving rate of 55% and the system delivers 65%, which far exceeds client expectations. But not only are we saving water, we are also saving on our heating charges as the energy extracted by the heat exchanger is being used to heat the incoming and recycled water needed for the blanching process. The system is helping us to achieve our high sustainability targets. We want to have as little impact as possible on the environment surrounding our farms and processing plants, and saving water is an important element in this. Simply put, without this recycling plant it just wouldn’t be possible for us to supply this new product to market.”
