Brewing

The brewing industry has extensive water treatment needs, from pasteurizer corrosion control and conveyor lubrication, to biological oxygen demand reduction in wastewater and reverse osmosis conditioning for foundation water. ChemTreat has extensive experience providing advanced treatment for brewing facilities. We also help breweries meet their sustainability goals by helping them reduce water usage and optimize their water ratios.

Pasteurizers

The ChemTreat team has been treating pasteurizer issues for over 50 years. Our programs can help you:

  • Maximize operational efficiencies by ensuring pasteurizers stay clean longer
  • Minimize microbial growth in the pasteurizers
  • Prevent issues around can dome and tab staining and bottle crown corrosion
  • Reduce pasteurizer corrosion
  • Maximize heat exchange efficiency by eliminating heat exchanger scaling and corrosion
  • Conserve water and energy with water balancing studies

We also offer highly effective cleaning programs for pasteurizers. Our on-line filler cleaner technology helps pasteurizers stay clean longer and reduces the frequency and duration of off-line cleanings.

Packaging

Our conveyor lubricant and filler cleaner technologies help brewery customers ensure efficiency of container flow through packaging by minimizing down packages and line blockages while improving track cleanliness.

We offer conveyor line lubricants that help reduce water usage while increasing efficiency.

Our unique filler cleaner offering helps customers optimize run-time efficiency by reducing cleaning frequency and duration. This helps customers reduce water, cleaning and sanitizing chemistry volume, energy, and labor, all while reducing downtime and maximizing production time.

Brewing Water Treatment

Cooling

ChemTreat understands the challenges of ensuring ammonia evaporative condensers are kept clean of corrosion, scaling, and microbiological fouling to maximize ammonia system efficiency. We can help you optimize the life expectancy of your evaporative condenser system by minimizing the potential for white rust and other potentially harmful corrosion problems.

Our team can also help you achieve water savings by optimizing cooling system cycles of concentration.

Boiler

We can help you improve boiler efficiency by preventing scale and corrosion. We can also help you reduce water and energy costs by reducing blowdown.

Wastewater

High BOD loading is a major issue for brewing facilities. We have solutions to help reduce BOD load in your system.

Other wastewater treatment options include coagulants, flocculants, defoamers, and odor control solutions. Certain aspects of wastewater treatment can be automated with our Real-Time Control technology, and we can also minimize the chance of biological wastewater treatment systems being upset by cleaning and sanitation chemicals with our Eclipsetechnology.

Reverse Osmosis

Our reverse osmosis treatment offerings help breweries using RO for foundation water optimize run-times and recovery rates while reducing water losses and unscheduled shutdowns for cleaning.

 

Canning

Retorts and cookers in the canning industry need water treatment to prevent can spotting and corrosion. ChemTreat has the expertise and solutions to help your facility with these issues.

ChemTreat’s experienced team can help your facility:

  • Reduce can and bottle cap corrosion
  • Reduce can reinfection potential caused by cooling water microorganisms
  • Maximize cooker life by minimizing corrosion, scaling, and fouling

We also offer programs that eliminate phosphate and heavy metals from your processes, helping you meet your environmental goals.

 

 

Protein

Our programs include a total plant approach to improving sustainability while providing treatment options that are certified to meet your regulatory needs, including Kosher, Halal, NSF Standard 60, and FDA. We strive to help protein producers improve efficiencies and realize water and energy savings.

Utility Treatment

Wastewater Treatment

We also provide odor control solutions for rendering facilities and lagoons.
