Food & Beverage Processing
The use of water as a food ingredient has a significant impact on the quality and consistency of the end-product — while spent process water becomes heavily contaminated, demanding robust recovery and reuse.
With 27 years of expertise, Ahura Aqua delivers comprehensive pure-water & wastewater solutions across all four critical applications — Ingredient Water, ETP, Recovery and Zero Liquid Discharge — for sustainable, cost-efficient manufacturing.
Polysaccharides, colloidal protein and tannins cause haze and turbidity. Micro- and ultra-filtration replace enzymatic treatment and decantation — fully automated, higher yield per batch, and retaining natural aroma and nutrition with no additives.
Replacing 90°C thermo-evaporation, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis concentrate juice at ambient temperature — cutting energy use sharply while preserving aroma, natural colour and bioactive compounds such as enzymes.
Ultra-pure water used directly as an ingredient drives higher production rates and superior, consistent end-product quality. A multi-stage train delivers food-grade water to the production line.
Softened and demineralised water for steam-boiler make-up, rinsing of juice cartons & bottles and cleanser / emollient for food-grade pumps — conditioned to each duty to prevent scaling and corrosion.
Spent process water becomes heavily contaminated and unfit for disposal. Clarification, multi-media filtration and softening condition the effluent collected in the equalisation tank ahead of recovery.
Pre-treated effluent passes through UF and two-stage RO, recovering >93% as make-up water for cooling towers and boilers. The final <7% concentrate is evaporated via MEE / MVR for complete ZLD.
Two-stage RO recovers permeate as make-up water for cooling towers and boilers, cutting freshwater intake and operating cost. The remaining <7% concentrate cannot be treated further, so it is evaporated via MEE or MVR — completing Zero Liquid Discharge.
