3. “Better For You” Product To Meet Flavor Trends 6/15/2021

   In today’s diverse food and beverage market, consumers are looking for “better for you” products but don’t want to compromise on taste or quality. The flavor industry, driven by this consumer demand, is tilting towards everything natural and organic. With a market expected to reach $36.6 billion by 2024, understanding the top 4 flavor trends and growth drivers becomes mission-critical to your success.

4. X-ray Inspection Of Meat Chubs 6/7/2021

   Aluminum clips and bones in chubs can lead to consumer complaints. These low density contaminants are usually difficult to detect, but the Anritsu XR75 x-ray system easily and repeatably finds these hazards, ensuring product quality.

5. X-ray Detection Of Stones In Bulk Blueberries 6/7/2021

   Crops like berries often pick up unwanted stones or glass during harvesting. Because both stones and glass are lower density materials, they are challenging for most x-ray inspection systems to detect. Read how the Anritsu XR75 DualX uses dual-energy inspection to greatly enhance detection of lower density materials including the challenging glass and rocks. This technology enables reliable detection of these contaminants at low false reject rates – a true win-win solution for this difficult application.

6. Understanding Particle Filtration In Liquids In Food And Beverage Industry Applications 5/28/2021

   In food and beverage production there is often a need for particle removal filtration of liquids and gases, with the goal of achieving high product quality while driving down manufacturing costs.

   Filters are available with many types of filtration materials, designs, performance characteristics, and separation mechanisms, so much so that their proper selection can seem daunting. This article focuses on a narrower discussion about particle removal performance in liquids with cartridge and bag filters, i.e. in the microfiltration range of over 0.1 micron, and the filtration mechanisms involved.

7. Water Quality Monitoring To Ensure Consistent Product Quality 3/17/2021

   A vineyard in California's Central Valley that grows grapes, almonds, and a variety of other crops faced a number of issues including the inability to obtain real-time insight into Nitrates and Boron from their groundwater supply; the need to generate the correct mixture of surface water and groundwater to protect crops agains excess fertilization.

8. Winery Becomes California’s Most Eco-Friendly With Advanced Biological Treatment And Nutrient Removal 3/1/2021

   When Silver Oak Cellars decided to expand and open a new winery in Alexander Valley, they wanted to create the greenest winery ever with eco-friendly features throughout their production process. A key component of the water efficiency aspect to the green production is Smith & Loveless’ TITAN MBR™ membrane bioreactor system which supplies the highest levels of biological treatment and nutrient removal. The TITAN MBR™ helped the winery become the first ever to earn a LEED Platinum Certification for new construction in 2018 (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design).

9. Featured Profiles In Brewery Wastewater Success 2/23/2021

   Stories of real success with packaged pumping and wastewater treatment systems at breweries are explored, including for regulatory compliance and/or water reuse capabilities. Packaged pumping and treatment systems have helped hundreds of brewers meet their permits for local collection and/or direct surface discharge, while offering minimal land usage, superior ease of operation, and the cost-saving "green" benefits of water reuse capabilities.

10. Schreiber Foods Cuts Chemical Costs With BlueInGreen's CDOX® Solution 2/10/2021

    At Schreiber Foods' wastewater treatment plant in Utah, mineral acids had been used for pH control in the past but were discontinued due to safety and handling issues. With an average daily flow of 250,000 gallons, the cheese and yogurt facility struggled to meet discharge permit requirements. Facility owners desired a safer, more cost-effective solution that would provide automatic control over process pH levels. Read the full case study to learn more.
