Optimizing filtration
Choosing the right water filtration solution
can ensure the quality and safety of products.

ater filtration is a critical aspect of dairy
processing, ensuring the quality and safety of
products while also contributing to overall
efficiency and sustainability. As dairy processors seek the
right water filtration solutions for their facilities, there are
numerous key considerations to keep in mind.
Chief among them is finding a system that enables
a company to fully understand the quality of the water
being used in the facility. Dairy processors should test
their water sources for contaminants such as sediments,
chlorine, bacteria, and other impurities that could affect
the taste and quality of dairy products. Understanding
the specific contaminants present will guide the choice of
filtration technologies.
" Like many industries, dairy processors are increasingly
examining their water use, looking for opportunities to
reduce, reuse and recycle water while still meeting demand, "
said Thomas Hughes, technical resource manager for
Naperville, Ill.-based Nalco Water, Ecolab's water and process
management business. " Water filtration solutions serve a
critical purpose in helping dairy processors to treat and use
water efficiently. "
As an example, he explained that reverse osmosis
(RO) technologies remain a popular, effective filtration
option for dairy processors, particularly in pre-treatment,
boiler and wastewater applications, as it takes out a wide
range of contaminants, including dissolved solids and
organic compounds.
Other water filtration systems used by dairy processors are
activated carbon filters, which help to remove chlorine, odors
and certain organic compounds; microfiltration, which utilizes
membranes to remove fine particles and microorganisms
from water, improving clarity and safety; reverse osmosis;
and ultraviolet disinfection, a chemical-free method that
effectively kills bacteria and viruses.
" Processors should evaluate their specific needs
and choose filtration technologies that best address the
contaminants present in their water supply, " said Zach
Eastling, process growth sales director for Veolia Water
Technologies & Solutions. " For instance, dairy processors
should consider the capacity and scalability of the solution
to ensure it's capable of handling the facility's current water
usage and be scalable to accommodate any future changes
in production. "
