ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

With growing international and local pressure, the food and beverage industry has to look for new ways of steering its product development and achieving continual control over costs  and health risks in a bid to meet the demands of its customers.

As such, water is a major issue, whether it is an integral part of its production processes, involved in product composition, or used for refrigeration, steam production or cleaning operations. To keep water consumption under control and ensure the reliable operation of its production, while taking account of seasonal variations and new product lines, industries are looking for a safe and top-quality water supply.

The food and beverage industry requires a huge amount of water. One of the main problems is the amount of waste water continuously produced in the food plants. The water is used as an ingredient, a cleaning agent, for boiling/cooling purposes and conditioning of raw materials.
Spent process water in the food industry can be desalinated and organics can be removed so as to fulfill the requirements for water reuse. Food industry standards specify that, spent process water intended for reuse (even for cleaning purposes) must be at least of drinking quality.

OBJECTIVES

The objectives of the workshop are:

·                     to address key issues and challenges identified in water supply and effluent treatment in the food and beverage industry

·                     to improve participants’ knowledge and set best practice in water resources management for the industry

Target Audience

Production, Quality, Environmental, Health and Safety, Operations and Technical professionals involved in improving water resources management and standard
