Analysts predict that the global per capita consumption of soft drinks will reach a record high of 84.5 liters in 2012. While the soft drink industry is celebrating this news, water conservation experts may have different opinions on this news, considering the amount of water required for soft drink production and bottling processes. In fact, Coca Cola, the world's largest producer of soft drinks, announced that producing 1 liter of beverage requires approximately 1.25 liters of water for washing, cleaning, and cooling processes.
The United Nations Children's Fund estimates that 884 million people worldwide lack access to safe drinking water, and it is estimated that 1.8 billion people will live in countries or regions with severe water shortages by 2025. In light of this, Coca Cola, PepsiCo, and other major food and beverage companies have recognized the necessity of implementing more effective production methods to conserve water.
Coca Cola Company stated that it has achieved nearly half of its 2007 goal of reducing water usage by 20% by 2012. Compared to the baseline in 2006, PepsiCo has improved water efficiency by over 15% by 2010 and will continue to strive to achieve the global goal of increasing water efficiency per unit of production by 20% by 2015.
Reducing the amount of foam generated in the production process is a measure to save water consumption.
"Foam may cause container overflow and extend the cleaning procedure of processing equipment, which not only increases the maintenance cost, but also requires thorough cleaning with water," XIAMETER, Dow Corning ® Don Buchalski, the global marketing manager of the brand, said. "In addition, the production capacity has been lost, resulting in lower production efficiency. foam may extend food processing time, reduce productivity and require the introduction of more expensive large-scale equipment.
The silicone defoamer of XIAMETER brand has been designed to safely and effectively eliminate the headache foam in food processing applications. Eliminating foam during processing can reduce water consumption, improve productivity and reduce production costs, thus saving money.
Foam is composed of bubbles. Organosilicon has low surface tension, so the organosilicon defoamer can disperse quickly through the bubble wall liquid film, promoting bubble rupture and foam disappearance. Organosilicon defoamers have been proven to be more effective than certain organic defoamers at lower dosages. ”
In addition to soft drink production, silicone defoamers can also be used in various food and beverage applications. For example, it can be used for cleaning water treatment tanks in breweries; Reduce foam in fermentation tank wastewater to increase production; Reduce product spillage or loss during the beverage dilution process before and during bottling; It can also be added to powdered granules to prevent foaming when mixed with liquids.
In summary, PAM flocculant is an important chemical agent with a wide range of applications. When in use, reasonable proportioning, dosage, and temperature adjustment should be made according to the actual situation to ensure the best flocculation effect. At the same time, attention should also be paid to storage and usage security.
