Challenge: A Northeast-based rapidly growing microbrewery moved to a new facility aiming to expand production. The brewery's well-fed water quality was inconsistent and greater control over water quality was desired. The brewery wanted to reduce TDS (total dissolved solids) and monitor quality feeding key brewing applications.
Solution: Atlas and Pure Flow proposed adding reverse osmosis (RO) in order to reduce TDS and provide a more consistent feed water quality. The brewery already had a softener, so softened water supply was routed through triplex backwashing carbon tanks for de-chlorination and then fed to two Suez E4 ROs operating in parallel for constant water supply.
The brewery used RO to minimize TDS and establish key water quality metrics centered on conductivity. This resulted in consistent water quality supply to key brewing applications regardless of variability in well water conditions.
