Food & Beverage
It is no surprise that the production of food and beverages is one of the biggest industries worldwide. Of course, as the population grows, so does production, in order to meet demand. This covers a huge range of products types including the huge range of drinks consumed, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic plus both basic foodstuffs and ready meals.
H+E has been designing and building plants for this sector for over 35 years. During that time, we have built literally hundreds of plants for a huge range of clients in many different countries. As a general rule, such plants are custom-designed to meet each client’s particular requirements. However, those designs do typically include a significant percentage of “standard designs” for particular parts of each plant. So, whether your need is to treat wastewater for processing of the wide range of dairy products, basic crops (potatoes etc.), yeast or drinks of any kind, H+E can offer customised and energy-efficient solutions for both water and wastewater treatment. As an example, H+E has designed and supplied more than 40 systems for the beet sugar industry. Above all, we really do have industry-leading experience for this sector, with its particular treatment issues.
As a general rule, all plants are designed and supplied on a turn-key basis
