Puroxi industry centre
Food & Beverage Water
Process water affects product consistency, sanitation, heat transfer, filtration and equipment life.
Understanding the application
Water Conditions Affect the Complete Operation
Puroxi does not begin with a product. We begin by understanding where the water comes from, how it moves through the site, what it contacts, what has already been tried and what the operation needs the water to do.
Ingredient-water consistency and food safety
This condition is evaluated in relation to the source water, system design, operating load and the required outcome.
Biofilm, microbiology and sanitation
This condition is evaluated in relation to the source water, system design, operating load and the required outcome.
Scale on boilers, heaters and process equipment
This condition is evaluated in relation to the source water, system design, operating load and the required outcome.
Wastewater load, odour and water reuse
This condition is evaluated in relation to the source water, system design, operating load and the required outcome.
Systems and applications

These photographs show genuine Puroxi equipment or approved application references. Final equipment selection and layout remain site-specific.
How Puroxi approaches the water
A Site-Specific Treatment Pathway
Define each water stream by its food-process use
Treatment selection follows water testing, hydraulic review, material compatibility and the customer’s verification requirements.
Coordinate filtration, oxidation and scale control with sanitation
Treatment selection follows water testing, hydraulic review, material compatibility and the customer’s verification requirements.
Protect heat-transfer and cleaning equipment
Treatment selection follows water testing, hydraulic review, material compatibility and the customer’s verification requirements.
Validate treatment under the facility’s food-safety system
Treatment selection follows water testing, hydraulic review, material compatibility and the customer’s verification requirements.
Potential Puroxi treatment tools
Technologies Are Selected for What the Water Requires
Treatment areas
- Ingredient and process water
- Scale and heat exchange
- Biofilm and filtration
- Sanitation compatibility and verification
Technologies that may be considered
- Puroxi Nano Bubble Nozzles using ambient air, oxygen or another approved gas
- Puroxi Oxygen Generator for suitable on-site oxygen supply
- Quattro ultrasonic algae control where the water and biology are suitable
- Puroxi Oxygen Booster through a controlled water-test-based protocol
- Ultrasonic scale prevention, filtration, dosing, aeration and circulation
A technology appearing on this page does not mean it is suitable for every site. Puroxi may recommend one treatment method, a combination of independent systems or further testing before equipment selection.
Information required
What Puroxi Needs Before Recommending Equipment
Good design depends on accurate site information. Reports, photographs, drawings and operating history help prevent assumptions.
- Source and process-water specifications
- Product contact, CIP and sanitation programme
- Flow, temperature, tanks and materials
- Regulatory, audit and discharge requirements
Relevant parameters may include temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, salinity, conductivity, turbidity, hardness, alkalinity, nutrients, organics, metals, microbial information and algae identification, together with the process-specific information required for this industry.
Monitoring and verification
Measure the Water and the Operating Result
Food-safety and process-water parameters
Record the baseline, treatment settings, operating changes and follow-up results so performance can be evaluated responsibly.
Microbiology and sanitation verification
Record the baseline, treatment settings, operating changes and follow-up results so performance can be evaluated responsibly.
Scale, biofilm and equipment condition
Record the baseline, treatment settings, operating changes and follow-up results so performance can be evaluated responsibly.
Product quality, water use and wastewater response
Record the baseline, treatment settings, operating changes and follow-up results so performance can be evaluated responsibly.
The Puroxi process
Test. Design. Treat. Verify.
- Characterize the source and the operating problem.
- Define the objective, limitations and applicable requirements.
- Design the hydraulic, gas, treatment and monitoring arrangement.
- Commission, document, evaluate and refine the programme.
