Companies of the beverage industry aggressively compete to maintain market advantages. One of the sector’s essential cost factors is water consumption, since water is their products’ main ingredient. In addition, beverage producers need enormous amounts of clean water to rinse bottles and clean machines and equipment. In the soft drink production process water is usually contaminated with sugar and other easily biodegradable substances.

DAS helps beverage producers to lower costs for water supply and effluent disposal. By lowering the fresh water consumption alone and thus waste water, companies can save substantially. DAS waste water treatment systems, for instance, make it possible to recycle and re-use the water for bottle cleaning including biological treatment. In other processes as well, it is possible to mostly recycle the process water by running it in a circulatory system. Due to the equipment’s modular structure, various partial waste water streams with differing load levels can be treated individually.

DAS systems are based on a highly energy efficient technology. The small foot print equipment smoothly integrates into production facilities. All systems are fully enclosed rather than using open basin operations and therefore easily meet all hygienic standards. Operating disruptions during production downtimes, facilities’ maintenance and company holidays or closing dates do not harm DAS systems. Re-location of a company is also trouble-free, and expanding or enhancing the system is possible at any time.
