AWGs for Drink Industry

• For decades, water was seen as a free commodity in the Drink Industry (Bottled Water, Soft Drinks, Beer, Whiskey and other Alcoholic drinks). It was very cheap and accessible from the nearest river, lake, well, etc. Besides, it was near to pure since the number of people are not high enough to pollute the water at these sources. However, water is not cheap and clean anymore today. The attitudes are starting to change due to increasing drought conditions and recent water pollution crises.

• According to the United Nations, approximately one-fifth of the world’s population lives in water-scarce areas; another one-quarter face a water shortage. With numbers like these, the importance of water as a commodity becomes clear.

• Water is a finite resource that needs to be sustained for future generations. As the population grows, resources [such as water] become more constrained. Water is a valuable resource, and its scarcity in some regions may cause communities to scrutinize how it is being used. 

• Taking steps to reduce a company’s water footprint could help build confidence in the company and strengthen its relationship with the local community. 

• As a result, drink industries are increasingly in the position of having to compete with local populations for access to fresh water.

• However, drink industries are so dependent on water for their manufacturing processes and equipment that they cannot effectively reduce their consumption. This is more challenging in some areas where water shortages are experienced, the costs could skyrocket, creating a financial risk for companies that do not implement water conservation measures. Moreover, inefficient water use has the potential to damage the image of Drink industries. 

• More and more manufacturing operations are either facing water restrictions, mandatory water reductions or the threat or fear one of these things may become a reality. If a facility does not improve its water consumed per production output  or find out an alternative source of water generation like AWGs and has to curtail water usage, it will have to reduce production. For this reason, operational planning to accommodate demands on production and resources can result in improved asset protection, product quality assurance and the ability to maintain or even increase production rates.

• The drinking industries are those industries where the primary production processes are either continuous, or occur on a batch of materials that is indistinguishable.Examples of the process industries include bottled water, sparkling water, whiskey, beer, soft drinks and other non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks.

​Why AWGs?

• AWGs are perfect & cost-efficent solutions for the drinking industries and their processes in which fresh & pure water is used. The contribution and added value of the AWGs are more significant for processing industries in the water stressed regions or water scarcity areas.

• The water generators are commercial & industrial scale water generators that produce water from the steam outlets/residual steam by airborne steam into water with thermal energy or from the air humidity into water with electricity.

• Generation of pure water by AWGs is achieved by utilizing the available waste thermal energy or airwater that could be used for operations, staff or auxiliary facilities.The water generation by AWG reduces the water footprint of the processing industries and safeguarding the food & beverage plant against the water supply disruptions since the water can be returned to the beginning of the process cycle.

• Generated water reduce or avoid pumping of groundwater,seawater and water from other resources (lakes, rivers, streams, etc.)  without decreasing overall water supply.  Pollution of water also generate a potential danger for the sustainability of operations.

• Multi-stage filtering process guarentee 100% pure water that contains no harmful biological-chemical  pollutants even in the smog-ridden areas.
