Recover more water, cut utility costs, and support sustainable production; with intelligent water recovery systems built for food and beverage plants.
High water consumption and rising utility costs are putting pressure on margins, while stricter environmental regulations demand reduced effluent volumes and improved sustainability.
Many plants discharge valuable process water straight to drain, missing opportunities to reuse it safely and efficiently. The result:
- Unnecessary water and effluent costs.
- Increased load on wastewater treatment.
- Difficulty meeting internal and external sustainability targets.
Our Solution:
- The 4B Automation & 4B Systems Water Recovery System is designed to capture, treat, and return suitable process water back into your operation; safely and efficiently.
- Using smart control and real-time monitoring, our systems optimise recovery, storage, and reuse of water from processes such as rinsing, CIP, and utilities. This reduces your freshwater intake and effluent volume while maintaining product quality, hygiene, and regulatory compliance.
Key Features / Capabilities
Custom-Engineered for Your Plant:
Designed around your processes, water quality needs, and available recovery points (CIP, rinses, utilities, etc.).
Multi-Stage Treatment Options:
Incorporates filtration, clarification, disinfection, or polishing steps as required by your application.
Real-Time Quality Monitoring:
Online measurement of key parameters (e.g. conductivity, turbidity, flow, temperature) to ensure safe reuse.
Intelligent Control & Automation:
Automatically diverts water to recovery, storage, or drain based on quality thresholds and tank levels.
Optimised Storage & Distribution:
Hygienic storage tanks and distribution systems to feed recovered water to appropriate consumers (e.g. CIP make-up, utilities, non-product-contact services).
Energy & Water Efficiency:
Designed to minimise pumping energy, maximise recovery percentage, and reduce overall water footprint.
Data Logging & Reporting:
Records recovered volumes, quality metrics, and system performance for sustainability reporting and audits.
Integration with Existing Systems:
Seamlessly interface with your plant SCADA, CIP systems, and utilities for coordinated operation and monitoring.
Robust, Hygienic Design:
Food and beverage grade materials, hygienic pipework, and easy access for maintenance.
Modular & Scalable:
Skid-based, modular design that can be expanded as your production or sustainability targets grow.
