Meeting increasing food demand requires the food and beverage industry to prioritize flexibility, productivity, and sustainability. Achieving these goals involves careful water resource management, decarbonization, and energy efficiency. Water plays a crucial role in all stages of food production, requiring effective treatment to ensure safety and compliance with food standards.
Food Processing: Efficiency, sustainability, and water quality management
The role of water in food processing
Water is essential in food production – as an ingredient, for sanitation, and in direct contact with produce. Proper treatment is critical to control physical, chemical, and biological risks, ensuring microbiological safety, minimizing contamination, and maintaining high product quality.
Why use ozone – the natural solution?
Ozone is a powerful, natural oxidizer that eliminates bacteria, viruses, and pathogens while leaving no harmful residues. Its benefits in food processing include:
