Water sustainability has become a significant issue for FMCG companies. Many companies publish information on their water usage and are committed to reducing their carbon and water footprints. Paques’ technologies for treating water and gas can significantly contribute to this aim.

The food industry is incredibly varied, with many different types of effluent streams. In general, much water is used and wastewater often contains organic products, with possibly fats, oils and grease. In addition, some segments’ wastewater contains high levels of nitrogen and phosphate, which imposes increased discharge costs. These characteristics make biological wastewater treatment a very interesting option for the food industry.

Paques purification processes vary from end-of-pipe solutions to closed loop systems, using a combination of anaerobic treatment, aerobic treatment, filtration, ultra-filtration, reverse osmosis and UV radiation.
