Micro-filtration-1Osmoflo microfiltration unit

Some of the biggest names in the food and beverage industries including soft drink and beer producers rely on custom designed Osmoflo desalination plants for safe, high quality water in manufacturing processes. Indeed, you may be drinking Osmoflo water now!

We understand that a reliable supply of clean, hygienic water is critical to food and beverage manufacturing and cleaning processes.

Technologies we provide to meet these stringent requirements include;

  • chlorine free production using ozone, ultraviolet and sterile air technologies
  • pre and post filtration treatment using a range of membrane filtration systems microfiltration (MF), ultrafiltration (UF), nanofiltration (NF)
  • reverse osmosis for salinity reduction in feed water

Osmoflo's quality and management systems ensure water from our plants comply with health and food safety standards and legislation at Federal and State level.

Did you know ... our water recycling plant contributes to Foster's Yatala brewery being the most efficient in Australia in terms of water usage.

  • Coca-Cola's largest nanofiltration plant

    Coca-Cola's largest nanofiltration plant

    Kewdale, Western Australia has Coca-Cola Amatil's (CCA) largest Australian nanofiltration plant. It ensures the scheme water supply is treated to comply with CCA's strict specifications. This plant has an extremely high recovery rate of 92%.

  • Treatment of ground water enabling its use in beer production

    Treatment of ground water enabling its use in beer production

    Water is always a major talking point in Adelaide, capital city of the driest state on the driest continent. Pro-active local industries often lead the way in adopting measures to conserve scarce drinking water supplies. Adelaide's iconic Coopers Brewery is no exception to this cause and when planning its move to a substantially larger site actively sought out water saving measures, including the replacement of mains water with ground water. Osmoflo's solution was to design a plant which could meet growing water useage needs for future expansion. A 3 ML/d reverse osmosis plant was comissioned in March 2007. Coopers are now achieving net savings by using ground water instead of mains water while the use of reject water in irrigation is also reducing effluent discharge costs. This is under a Build Own Operate contract where Osmoflo owns and operates the RO plant and the brewery is billed on consumption.

  • Unique 'blend control' system for brewery

    Unique 'blend control' system for brewery

    A unique 'blend control' system provided as part of an Osmoflo reverse osmosis desalination plant at Swan's Canning Vale Brewery in Perth enables automatic adjustment of water quality to meet brew requirements. The 1ML/d plant was provided to the Water Corporation which is responsible for water supply to the brewery. Through a long-term operations and maintenace agreement, Osmoflo undetakes preventative maintenance and provides regular operation reports.
