Food and Beverage

Optimizing Operations for Quality, Compliance, and Sustainability

Water Quality Management

Clean, high-quality water is essential for food and beverage production. Carus’ advanced water treatment solutions ensure the safety and consistency of water used in manufacturing processes.

Applications:

  • Iron and Manganese Removal: CAIROX® potassium permanganate, AQUOX® potassium permanganate, and CARUSOL® liquid permanganate oxidize and remove dissolved iron and manganese, protecting equipment and ensuring water clarity.
  • Corrosion Control: Orthophosphate blends form protective films, reducing pipe corrosion and safeguarding water systems.
  • Sequestration: Polyphosphates effectively bind dissolved minerals to prevent scaling, improve water clarity, and reduce maintenance costs.

Odor Control

Eliminating Unpleasant Smells at Their Source

Odor management is a critical component in maintaining safe, pleasant, and compliant environments in the food and beverage industry. From brewery wastewater to dairy production and fish processing, Carus’ permanganate solutions provide fast, effective, and sustainable odor control.

Carus Solutions for Odor Control:

  • Hydrogen Sulfide and Mercaptan Neutralization: Quickly oxidize sulfur-based compounds.
  • Scalable Applications: Solutions for wastewater treatment and air scrubbing.
  • Sustainable Odor Management: Minimize environmental impact while achieving effective results.

Applications by Industry:

  • Breweries: Neutralize odors from sulfur-based compounds in brewery wastewater and solids.
  • Beef and Poultry Processing: Control odors in wastewater and scrub odorous air during rendering.
  • Cheese and Dairy Production: Eliminate odors from milk proteins and sulfur-containing amino acids in processing waste.
  • Flavors and Fragrances: Address volatile components in products like taco seasoning, garlic oil, menthol, and eucalyptus oil.
  • Coffee Roasting: Remove strong roasting odors using air scrubbing systems.
  • Fish Processing: Oxidize amine compounds to eliminate odors in fish and cooking systems.
  • Starch Conversion: Prevent rancid odors from oily starch components during processing.
  • Food Grade Carbon Dioxide Purification: Scrub hydrogen sulfide and primary amines for odor-free food-grade CO₂.

Process Optimization

Achieving operational efficiency is critical for competitive success in the food and beverage industry. Carus solutions support process optimization through advanced chemical technologies:

  • Starch Oxidation: Reduce viscosity and improve processing efficiency with permanganate-based solutions.
  • Scaling Prevention: CARUS™ Water Treatment Chemical scale inhibitors prevent deposits in equipment, ensuring consistent production and reducing maintenance costs.
  • Gas Purification: Achieve ultra-high-purity carbon dioxide using advanced scrubbing technologies.
