Sustainable Solutions For The Food and Beverage Industries

Processes in food and beverage industries produce CO₂ and other harmful pollutants to the atmosphere. Also sidestreams such as sludges are challenges that need professional and sustainable handling without compromising the profitability of the business.  

The biggest environmental and economic impact lies in the industries consumption of water and energy. Often the processes involved create large amounts of steam, that traditionally have been vented into the atmosphere. This steam, also containing small amounts of particles and pollutants, is a waste of energy as the water and heat could be much better used within the production process. 

Our solutions are suitable for the air conditioning, heating, cooling and drying needs of the food, beverage and distillery industry as well as sludge handling and emission and odor removal of the exhaust air. Optimizing the drying process effectively reduces energy consumption and production costs and minimizes the carbon footprint. We offer several solutions to solve and improve the drying process, for instance: by minimizing the need for energy. Efficient drying solutions also help to exploit the potential of production by-products. For example, commercially valuable components such as starch, protein and fiber can be separated from the by-products of processed roots and vegetables. 

Being environmentally friendly has never been so efficient! 

Closed circulation:

 Zero^Emissions Zero^Odors Zero^Fog Zero^Ice Zero^Dust made with recovered waste energy 

Pollutants, foul odors and wasted energy – typical problems in the food industry. Our proven Zero-Ex^® closed circulation technology is specifically designed to combat these problems. In addition to reducing the harmful environmental impact of the pulp industry, Zero-Ex^® also improves the efficiency of the processes by recovering wasted heat that would otherwise be exhausted into the atmosphere. Zero Ex^® enables a closed loop system in which the energy generated by the process can be recovered with zero waste. By minimizing energy consumption and maximizing the continued use of energy, it is possible to achieve up to 100% energy recovery. Read more: Zero-Ex^® – zero emissions to air

Sidestreams and by-products to support bioenergy and circular economy 

Side streams and by-products, such as sludge coming out from the food and beverage producing processes and distilleries can be utilized as bedding, fertilizer or as raw material for recycled fibers among other things, to support a circular economy as a substitute for fossil fuels. SuperDryer™ is a breakthrough drying system that revolutionizes the drying process by making it clean, energy efficient and emission-free. It replaces the traditional industrial dryers that are associated with high energy consumption and heavy pollution.  

SuperDryer™ is versatile and easily scalable to fit any capacity requirements. The optimal drying conditions and final dryness of the product can be easily adjusted through operating parameters. Together with Zero-Ex^® technology it cleans 100% of the exhaust air, eliminates harmful emissions and odors, and recovers 100% of spent energy. SuperDryer™ helps you meet the requirements of the latest environmental regulations and the energy challenges of modern industry. Read more: SuperDryer™ – clean, energy-efficient and CO2 negative drying for sidestreams and sludges
