Testimonial: Optimize Resource Management with Inline Measurement on Wastewater

Efficiency and sustainability are becoming increasingly important in industrial production processes. Especially in sectors such as the food industry, minimizing raw material losses is essential. IMD, in cooperation with Elscolab, offers solutions by using advanced inline measuring systems for wastewater. This technology uses refractometry and UVVIS sensors to detect valuable raw materials such as proteins, sugars and fats and reduce losses. This leads to more efficient production, lower costs and reduced environmental impact.

Raw material losses in the Food Industry.

In many food processing plants, raw materials such as milk, cream or cheese residues are often wasted through wastewater. This causes not only economic losses, but also increased costs in wastewater treatment and environmental impact. IMD has therefore developed an innovative measurement concept that helps detect these raw material losses.

A key technology deployed is refractometry, which measures the refractive index of liquids to determine the concentration of dissolved substances. Combined with UVVIS sensors, which can specifically detect organic contaminants in water, this system provides accurate analysis of wastewater streams.

Efficiency and Cost Savings

The inline measurements of wastewater make it possible to intervene immediately when increased raw material losses occur. This not only prevents waste, but also helps reduce costs by reducing the need to repurchase raw materials. By providing real-time insights, companies can react more quickly to deviations and adjust processes to minimize losses. This not only makes the production chain more efficient, but also more sustainable.

Collaboration Between IMD and Elscolab

The collaboration between IMD and Elscolab is crucial to the success of these measurement solutions. Elscolab provides the specialist equipment, while IMD focuses on the practical applications within production processes. This combination of technical expertise and knowledge of process optimization ensures that customers receive optimal assistance and achieve the best results.

Inline measurements of wastewater are thus an important tool for companies striving for sustainability and efficiency. The technology not only helps reduce resource losses, but also contributes to a more sustainable and cost-effective manufacturing environment.

Conclusion

The inline measurement of raw materials in wastewater provides companies in the food industry with a valuable tool to reduce waste and cut costs. Using advanced technologies such as refractometry and UVVIS sensors, companies can optimize their processes and achieve greater sustainability. The collaboration between IMD and Elscolab will make this technology accessible to companies striving for more efficient and environmentally friendly production.
