FOOD SAFETY AND SECURITY

Solutions for the Food Industry

Ultrapure process water, total disinfection systems, and wastewater treatment plants for high biological load designed to comply with health and safety regulations in Mexico.

OPERATIONAL CHALLENGES

Common Problems in the Food Industry

Food and beverage production requires rigorous control of contaminants, high water consumption, and immediate compliance with strict environmental discharge standards.
alimentos-iocno-problema-1
High organic load in effluents
Grease, sugars, and suspended solids clog standard systems, resulting in fines for exceeding BOD and COD limits.
alimentos-iocno-problema-2
Variability in Process Water
Even minor changes in the quality of the water in the distribution system can compromise the taste, consistency, and safety of the final product.
alimentos-iocno-problema-3
Compliance with NOM-001 and NOM-002
Technical challenges in meeting the new federal and municipal discharge standards for water bodies and sewer systems.
alimentos-iocno-problema-4
High water usage costs
Constant loss of financial resources due to the lack of technologies for the reuse and recovery of condensate at the plant.
