At Perinox, we start from a clear premise: sustainability is not an added cost, but a direct lever for operational efficiency and industrial profitability. With this mindset, we are currently finalizing the testing of a system specifically designed for industrial water recovery—namely alkaline solutions and water—in a juice processing plant.
A technical, simple, and high-impact approach to industrial water recovery.
The system targets a critical point in the process: the cleaning of ion exchange columns. Through an integrated recovery solution, the alkaline solution used in the cleaning process (CIP) and the associated water are recovered, enabling their immediate reuse within the same production cycle, without compromising process safety or quality.
Tangible results for the plant.
The implementation of this type of industrial water recovery solution delivers clear and measurable benefits:
- Direct savings in operating costs:
Significant reduction in the purchase of new cleaning chemicals by maximizing the useful life of existing solutions.
- Optimized water consumption:
Efficient reuse of water resources, reducing dependence on mains water and improving water sustainability indicators.
- Less discharge, greater environmental compliance:
Reduction in the volume of effluents generated, making it easier to meet environmental targets and increasingly stringent regulations.
Circular economy applied to process engineering.
This project is a concrete example of how circular economy principles can be integrated into food process engineering, transforming streams traditionally considered waste into valuable resources. The result: more efficient, sustainable, and competitive processes.
At Perinox, we continue to develop solutions that demonstrate that innovation, sustainability, and profitability are not only compatible, but complementary in the modern food industry.
