A beverage is any kind of liquid or drink, usually other than water, made for human consumption. Beverages are further classified into two categories: alcoholic beverages and non-alcoholic beverages. Alcoholic beverages refer to liquids that contain 1% to 75% of liquor and are produced by fermentation such as wine, beer, or distillation such as vodka, rum, tequila. Non-alcoholic beverages are drinks that don’t have any liquor such as tea, coffee, fruit juices, soft drinks, and carbonated beverages. They can be produced premix or postmix, depending on the setup of your production line.

Industries such as pharmaceuticals and biofuel production require effective dehydration of solvents. Traditional methods like distillation can be energy-intensive and often require additional chemicals or entrainers.
<h2>Efficiently dehydrate solvents using membrane technology</h2>
The pervaporation process by BORSIG is a membrane technology designed for efficient solvent dehydration. This technology relies on the high water affinity of the membrane material, allowing water or methanol to be preferentially adsorbed and permeated through the membrane. Depending on the feed flow and production needs, the process operates with either liquid or vapor feed and can be run in batch or continuous modes. Specifically, this technology is suited for applications involving azeotropes and high water-content solvents like ethanol, isopropanol, and trimethyl borate. By combining distillation with pervaporation, the system reduces water content down to 0.3 wt-% without additional chemicals, decreasing energy consumption and simplifying the separation process. BORSIG's pervaporation is suitable for applications in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and fine chemical industries.

In solvent extraction plants, managing wastewater disposal presents significant operational and environmental challenges. Plant managers must manage water waste effectively to reduce environmental impact and operational costs, while also optimizing plant efficiency.
<h2>Eliminate wastewater and recycle steam</h2>
The Crown Zero Effluent Discharge System (ZED) is designed to eliminate wastewater from solvent extraction plants by concentrating water waste in specially designed pressure vessels. The system converts this waste into 40 psig steam that can be recycled within the extraction plant. Additionally, blowdown water from the cooling tower can be added, leading to further savings. By increasing the amount of condensate returned to the boiler from 40% to 80% of total steam consumption, the ZED system substantially reduces energy costs for preheating make-up water. This system also minimizes chemical treatment costs for the boiler, virtually eliminates wastewater disposal fees, and simplifies the plant permit application process by removing a major effluent source. The system supplies 75–100% of the sparge steam required for typical Desolventizer-Toaster operations, potentially enhancing meal drying, decreasing solvent loss, and increasing the digestible protein in the final product. The ZED system, supplied by Crown Iron Works, can also incorporate additional wastewater sources for recycling.

If you've ever heard the acronym WFI spoken, know that we're not talking about wireless technology to connect your computer. WFI stands for water for injection, a sterile water used as a solvent to dilute other solutions for injections to the body. Traditionally, WFI was only produced through the distillation process using water for injection equipment until other methods such as reverse osmosis, electrodeionization, and ultrafiltration were developed.
