Process Water Preparation Facility with Advanced Purification Technologies for a Soft Drink Giant

We installed a turnkey water treatment system for the Elazığ-based factory of one of the world's largest soft drink brands to produce high-quality process water, the foundation of product quality. Our project not only meets the food industry's most stringent hygiene and quality standards but also contributes to our client's achievement of global water efficiency goals.

The Challenge: Zero Tolerance for Product Quality

In soft drink production, especially for standardized formulas like Cola, water quality (taste, odor, and mineral balance) directly impacts the flavor of the final product. Therefore, the primary goal of the project was to design a system that would completely eliminate potential variations in raw water quality, produce water that is 100% microbiologically safe and consistently maintains the same standard.

Our Solution: A Hygienic and Advanced Technological System Specifically for the Food Industry

In our 2x95 m³/hour facility, we have combined technologies that prioritize food safety and product quality. Multi-Stage Filtration: The purification process begins with Ultrafiltration (UF) and continues with Reverse Osmosis (RO), removing all unwanted minerals from the water.

Maximum Efficiency: The Nanofiltration (NF) unit integrated into the system increases the efficiency of the RO system, minimizing water loss and enabling our customer to approach their goal of "1 liter of water for 1 liter of product."

Hygienic Design: All piping is manufactured from 316L stainless steel, complying with food standards. Activated carbon filters with a steam sterilization system and a high-quality UV disinfection system provide complete protection against microbiological growth.

Integrated CIP Systems: Integrated CIP (Cleaning-In-Place) systems, which ensure regular on-site cleaning and disinfection of the facility, ensure consistent hygiene standards.

Results and Customer Benefits

Thanks to our project, our customer has uninterrupted access to the premium water needed to produce products that meet international quality standards. Our highly efficient system contributes to sustainability goals by reducing water usage, while its fully automated and hygienic design ensures production continuity and brand value. This project demonstrates our engineering expertise in addressing the sensitive water needs of the food and beverage industry.
