Dimensioning a water treatment installation and its process requires to take into account many factors. Seasonality, product storage capacity, production planning (1, 2, 3 shifts ...), regulations, and production standards are factors that define the choice of process, components, and sizing (technology, buffer size, CIP ...).
The constraints regarding water extraction limitations and water drainage are some of the regulation aspects that need to be considered when designing well equipment. Combined with seasonality production, these parameters are essential.
A hygienic system is cleanable in any point. The design of hygienic system is the corner stone of every reliable and efficient water treatment system. Hygienic design is a key know-how of ICE, thanks to a long experience with mineral water installations under strict European regulations. For European natural mineral waters the allowed disinfection techniques [...]
Defining the right water treatment is not only answering to technical specifications linked to the final product. It requires also to take into account other aspects such as the quality and variability of the raw water, the production constraints, the scalability of the installation, the regulations, the quantity and quality of water rejected, the company's [...]
The performance and efficiency of the installed systems depend highly on operator knowledge and experience. ICE helps bottlers efficiently operate the systems designed by our engineers.
In most of the cases, ICE water treatment installations are equipped with a very complete instrumentation. This allows the collection of essential data in order to operate installations. The historisation and aggregation of the data through dashboards (data visualisation), KPIs, and automatic reports allows to anticipate some potential drifts and keep a high level of [...]
Our quality experts can help you to establish the product quality control plan and schedule which is the most suited to your production and its specificities. This plan can be also adapted and optimized according to the observed results.
Respecting hygienic rules is capital for best practices implementation. A hygienic design (i.e. an installation that can be cleaned in each and every point) is not only limited to the design of the system but must also work in conjunction with good manufacturing practices, optimized maintenance, and quality control. ICE can bring this global approach [...]
In order to reduce the risk of contamination and its impact on the production, it's important to characterize the resource availability. This prevents over-exploitation. Up to which flow rate is my resource sustainable? What are the effects of season on the resource availability ...
Two of the key aspects of the well equipment design is the cleanability of the installation and the management of the water flow variations. A rapid variation of the water pumping drastically increases the risk of contamination with heavy consequences on the access to the resource. The seasonality and the type of water (deep well [...]
