PROBLEM
A prominent food processing company operating in Australia faced increasing challenges with securing a high-quality, compliant potable water supply for its production facility. The site’s raw water came from a regional water channel with fluctuating quality, which included seasonal algae spikes and high turbidity. As the facility produces food for human consumption, it required a reliable and safe water source that met the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines (ADWG).
The key challenges included:
- Variable Raw Water Quality: The water source had high turbidity and fluctuating quality, especially during seasonal algae blooms, making it difficult to maintain a consistent water supply for food production.
- Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring that the water met the strict ADWG standards for potable water was critical to maintaining food safety and avoiding regulatory penalties.
- Automated Operation: The company required a robust and automated treatment system that required minimal manual intervention, allowing the system to run efficiently with fewer personnel involved.
- Scalability: With future production growth in mind, the company needed a solution that could scale as water demands increased, ensuring operational efficiency in the long term.
To address these issues, the company turned to Waterform Technologies for a reliable and cost-effective solution that would ensure the production of high-quality potable water while meeting all regulatory standards.
