Funded under: CE-SPIRE-07-2020 – Preserving fresh water: recycling industrial waters industry

The food and beverage industry is one of the most water- and energy-intensive industries in the world in addition to producing large volumes of waste. Therefore, freshwater supplies are in high demand. Despite significant progress in improving water use efficiency, the food and beverage sector needs to do more to minimise the use of freshwater during the processing of raw materials. However, current solutions for wastewater treatment in industries under a water–waste–energy nexus remain limited. The aim of the EU-funded AccelWater project is to change this pattern and improve freshwater consumption in the food and beverage industry by focussing on developing novel water reclaiming and reusing as well as artificial intelligence-enabled monitoring and control technologies.
