Food processors and beverage producers require large quantities of water to create their best products. From raw water intake and pretreatment to disinfection, to process and utility water, and to compliant wastewater treatment, water is used in many ways throughout these facilities.
In many parts of the US water scarcity is addressed by designing systems around sustainable practices including water reuse and biogas capture for local use as green energy or to be converted to RNG and sent to the grid.
Xylem provides effective solutions for the water movement and treatment throughout food and beverage facilities. These solutions can include total water management, maintenance contracts, and solution and system design.

Complex Discharge Line Bypass at National Brewery Keeps Operations Online
Xylem team addresses high-pH and high temperature bypass fluids for discharge and sewer pipe replacement
A national beer brewery in Georgia needed to address deterioration and replacement of some of the drain pipes running from their fermentation tanks. For this to be classified as a successful repair and replacement effort, it needed to be achieved while keeping 25,000 barrels of beer a day flowing and simultaneously maximizing plant uptime and profitability.
Town of Creston Pretreats Brewery Wastewater with ADI-BVF® Reactor
Anaerobic Pretreatment allows town to meet final effluent discharge limits
Creston’s wastewater treatment facility treats both domestic and industrial effluent. The Columbia Brewery, which feeds its wastewater to the town, underwent major expansions that significantly increased its wastewater flows. Creston was not equipped to treat the volume of wastewater generated by the brewery. Town officials were eager to solve the problem, especially since the brewery was Creston’s largest employer.
