Reliable prevention, monitoring and treatment of wastewater
The food and beverage industry primarily uses water as a raw material for cleaning and in production, which is then disposed of as wastewater after it is used. Depending on the composition and contamination level, the wastewater is treated and reused as process water, or it is cleaned before being discharged into the environment or the sewage system. This is the only way to ensure compliance with strict environment regulations.
19 %
of the worldwide water consumption stems from industrial applications. A vast majority is required by the food and beverage industry.
Our offering
Wastewater accumulates wherever food is produced. Dealing with the high requirements and challenges thus cannot be avoided. We help you to meet strict environmental regulations and optimize your wastewater processes and costs with our intelligent measurement technology. We support you
Reduce the volume
Monitor the amount
Reduce contamination levels
Treatment through neutralization
Comply with government environmental regulations
Applications
Wastewater prevention
The volume of wastewater can be reduced during food processing by using measurement technology when discharging products from the lines. With less rinse water, fewer phases between two products, or between product and cleaning detergents, you can protect the environment and enjoy real cost savings.
Our expertise in the field
By relying on the right measurement technology from Endress+Hauser, the changeover phase can be optimally designed.
One of the most important first steps is monitoring water consumption, because only then can measures be carried out.
Our expertise in the field
Our electromagnetic flowmeters precisely measure the volume of fresh water that is used, as well as the amount of wastewater. The wastewater can be analyzed either on-site or in the lab.
Use Proline Promag 10L flowmeter with a weight-optimized sensor and high cost-effectiveness.
Any wastewater that collects during the cleaning process has to be neutralized before being fed into the sewage network, thus ensuring compliance with the strict thresholds outlined in environmental regulations.
Our expertise in the field
Neutralization, buffer and storage tanks containing acids and alkaline solutions are monitored with innovative measurement technology from Endress+Hauser.
Rely on digital pH sensors with Memosens technology to continuously measure the pH value.
Monitor the flow volume with highly-precise electromagnetic flowmeters.
Prevent your tanks from overfill with point level switches from the Liquiphant family.
In accordance with government regulations, parameters such as pH, temperature and wastewater quantity are not only continuously monitored, but also recorded.
Our expertise in the field
Our data managers immediately know when threshold tolerances are exceeded and generates alarms. The fully-automated sampler in the Liquistation series draws test samples on a regular basis so that additional parameters such as COD (chemical oxygen demand) can be analyzed.
Rely on automatic water samplers when reliable water sampling is key.
Improve your data recording using the advanced data manager Memograph RSG45.
Maintenance services to ensure functionality and precision
Regular maintenance on all instrumentation is highly recommended. From pH and oxygen content measurement, to analyzers, with regular replacement of the expendable materials, the option exists to complete a corresponding maintenance agreement with Endress+Hauser.
Our expertise in the field
From inspection to preventative maintenance services, Endress+Hauser supports you to define the right maintenance regime based on your plant's specific requirements. You benefit from:
Guaranteed transparency when it comes to wastewater volume and composition
Minimized downtimes and costs
Extended life cycle for your measurement instrumentation and production systems

Modular panel solution for reliable and safe monitoring
Raw water, process water or wastewater can be efficiently monitored with modular, space-saving analysis panels. This simplifies daily process integration and operation.
Our expertise in the field
Our panel solutions, which can be delivered with or without sample preparation, are modular, scalable and designed especially for your analysis parameters.
Simplify analytical measuring tasks using analytical monitoring panels. They are easy to customize to your requirements and offer improved plant safety, quality and efficiency.
Learn more about processes and relevant measurement points
In industrial applications, water travels a long path, from extraction of the raw or fresh water at the source, to the various production processes and then either directly or indirectly to the discharge point. Learn more about how measurement technology can be used for the optimal prevention, monitoring and treatment of accumulated wastewater.
