Wastewater management is both a challenge and opportunity for food and beverage companies. One challenge is that many of today’s wastewater tends to be high strength with high loading of organic content. As a result, producers can face costly surcharges if discharging to a municipal sewer.
However, on the water supply side, the economic risk far exceeds the actual cost of water, leading food and beverage companies to tap reliable sources of reclaimed wastewater.
