Food & Beverage – Hydro X
Water Treatment and Engineering Solutions For The Food & Beverage Industry
The UK food and beverage manufacturing industry is the biggest single manufacturing sector in the UK. The industry contributes £31.1bn to the economy, and has an annual turnover of over £100bn accounting for nearly 20% of UK manufacturing. The industry employs around 400,000 people, all in all.
Food and beverage producers and those in the supply chain are under constant pressure to improve quality, increase range, and reduce costs. These influencing drivers include; retailers and consumers, regulation and external quality organisations, internal cost and output drivers. Sustainability is another key driver in this industry. Within sustainable development, there are 3 major components: social, environmental, and economic. This is known as the “triple bottom line”.
The Importance of Water Treatment In The Food and Beverage Industry
Water plays a vital role in the food and beverage industry, serving a variety of purposes. It is used for washing products, cleaning equipment, transferring energy during cooking and cooling processes, and even as an ingredient in sauces and beverages. However, any water that is not utilised in the product or recycled, along with losses like steam venting and leaks, is ultimately discharged as waste.

Water Treatment Engineering Solutions For The Food and Beverage Industry
From canning to frozen food, farm to fork, we know the importance of understanding that each facility faces different water treatment, wastewater, and process engineering challenges. It’s why Hydro-X Water are fully committed to providing flexible water treatment and engineering solutions to match your needs.
Engineering Support From Hydro-X
We start with a good old-fashioned conversation. Not only to discuss the challenges being faced but also to ensure all parties understand the wider logistical, financial, ecological, and sustainability issues at hand. This initial consultation is then followed up with a site survey and a meeting with all key stakeholders for additional peace of mind.
Next, it’s time for us at Hydro-X Water to get to work. Researching the problem, equipment and process engineering considerations, as well as in some cases carrying out lab work, field tests, and analysis.
We can then present our proposal that will include an overview of the challenge and opportunity at hand. We include at this stage an investment figure. This will give us the ability to discuss funding options as well as Return On Investment (ROI) payback. The implementation of Hydro-X Engineering’s work should be as seamless and low-impact for our customers as possible. This means that we work tightly to pre-arranged project plans, with key milestones and deliverables agreed in advance. All delivered by our project management and installation engineers, who we believe are the best in the industry.
