4. Page 4 Siemens Water Technologies Water Reuse - Overview  Nearly all major Food & Beverage companies have Sustainability goals related to water and energy usage  Water Ratio – Water usage per unit of product  Energy Ratio – Energy usage per unit of product  Water conservation and awareness should be the initial focus, and then water reuse.  Water Reuse is a key tool for reducing your plant’s water ratio

5. Page 5 Siemens Water Technologies Water Reuse - Overview (Continued)  Identifying water reuse opportunities starts with a “Water Balance” of your facility  Metering is needed to identify where water is going and to measure your success  First find your water reuse opportunities that require minimal treatment. These are your “Low Hanging Fruit”:  Maximize Condensate Return  Empty Container Rinse Water  Any water stream can be reused with enough treatment. The key is to find the right streams and the right solution that will provide an economically justifiable project.

7. Page 7 Siemens Water Technologies In-Plant Cascading Water Reuse The easiest and least expensive method of water reuse is capturing water used in the plant before it gets contaminated with other waste streams:  Carbon Tower Backwash  Multi-Media Backwash  Cooling Water for Compressors  Empty Container Rinse Water  Steam Condensate  Discharge from Container Cooler/Warmer  Pump Seal Water  CIP System Final Rinse  Rainwater

8. Page 8 Siemens Water Technologies In-Plant Cascading Water Reuse  These water streams are easy to capture and require minimal treatment for reuse  Match the water quality needed with the water streams that are available. Some possible uses of reuse water include:  Irrigation  Cooling Towers  Crate Washing  Warmers/Coolers  Toilet Flushing  Truck Washing

10. Page 10 Siemens Water Technologies Case Study No. 1: Carbon Tower Backwash Reclaim Carbonated Soft Drink Plant  Carbon towers are used to treat ingredient water at a soft drink facility  After initial flush to drain, carbon tower backwash water is captured in a 10,000 gallon storage tank.  Collected water is re-chlorinated and filtered by a bag filter and a cartridge filter to capture any carbon fines.  Reuse water is blended back into the incoming city water tank at no more that 10% of total flow.  Saves 10,000 gallons of water for each backwash.

11. Page 11 Siemens Water Technologies Rainwater Harvesting – General Guidelines  Use rain water to reduce city water usage in non-critical applications:  Irrigation  Toilet Flushing  Cooling Applications  Feed water to in-plant water treatment system  Works best in areas with high annual rainfall  Recommendation: Capture rainwater from the roof rather than parking lots due to oils and other contaminants.  Numerous successful projects in Portland and Seattle areas on commercial buildings. This trend can be applied to industrial facilities as well.

20. Page 20 Siemens Water Technologies Non-Carbonated Beverage Facility Case Study Example No. 3 - Reject Recovery RO  Reject water collected from RO and Nanofiltration Units  Recovery RO sized for 90 gpm permeate  Recovery RO cost approximately $100,000  Annual water savings of 20,000,000 gallons  Annual water savings of $120,000 based on $6 per 1000 gallons for incoming water and wastewater treatment Payback in about one year! Reject Recovery RO

21. Page 21 Siemens Water Technologies Reject Recovery RO’s  Reject Recovery RO’s have become very common in F&B Facilities with membrane water treatment  Bottled Water Facilities  Carbonated Soft Drink Facilities  Non-Carbonated Beverage Facilities  Food Production Facilities  Suitability can be limited based on water chemistry. Areas with high silica have limited application.  Don’t run at over 50-60% recovery rate due to high scaling potential. Water chemistry is critical.

23. Page 23 Siemens Water Technologies Treatment of Plant Effluent Water  The technology exists to treat any Food & Beverage plant wastewater back to potable water quality. If the plant already has a wastewater treatment system, then the economics of water reuse could be much more favorable.  Advancements in membrane technology are making water reuse more viable.  Membrane Bioreactors (MBR) is the leading technology for wastewater reuse.

24. Page 24 Siemens Water Technologies Defining Requirements for Water Reuse Objectives of treatment: To remove contaminates (organics, inorganics, suspended, dissolved) to a quality for beneficial reuse. Typical Processes:  Removing Organics – Biological Degradation (anaerobic/aerobic), increased use of MBR or UF polishing  Remove Suspended Particles – Clarification and Filtration, increased use of MF and UF membranes  Remove Inorganic Dissolved Constituents - Reverse Osmosis, Microfiltration Softening, Demineralization (increasingly, Integrated Membrane Systems (UF+RO+CDI))  Disinfection (pathogen inactivation) – Chlorine, UV, Ozone

26. Page 26 Siemens Water Technologies MBR MBR (Membrane Bio Reactor) process uses membranes as an absolute barrier with very small pore size which gives a very clear treated water.
