We offer small, bench-scale studies and on-site pilot-testing to validate system design and fully meet the client’s requirements. Using fundamental research, we can identify the optimal and most effective system for a particular treatment.

Integrated O&M Services:

We provide a range of operations & management solutions with a service scope and program length based on the needs of our customers and their facilities. This includes full-time O&M staffing, routine contracts, and emergency response.

Guaranteed Lifecycle Assurance:

Envirogen’s operating solutions aim to maintain optimal performance while delivering the best lifecycle cost. We offer risk protection via performance and cost guarantees, resulting in predictable and guaranteed costs for the lifetime of the asset.

Commitment to Improvement:

Continuous improvement in operational performance and cost-reduction is one of Envirogen’s commitments in our long-term partnerships.

Winery-Specific Support:

Envirogen is a proud member of the Wine Institute and actively assists wineries in meeting the new Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR) established in 2021 by the California Water Board.

Integrated Water, Wastewater, Air, and Product Purification

Envirogen’s state-of-the-art solutions provide treatment for incoming water, process water, wastewater, and odor control.

Incoming Water Treatment

Treating and filtering raw water at the incoming stage is fundamental to the efficiency of the process further downstream. Technologies used include:

Filtration & Softening: Multi-media filtration, Softening, Cartridge filtration, and Adsorption with GAC.

Demineralization & Disinfection: Ion exchange and demineralization, Disinfection with UV.

Membrane: Reverse Osmosis (RO) and Ultrafiltration.

Process & Reuse Water Treatment

Process water treatment ensures consistency, sterility, shelf-life and clarity. This stage also allows for process water recovery for re-use, helping to reduce the water footprint and achieve sustainability targets. Technologies employed include:

Membrane: Microfiltration, Ultrafiltration, Reverse Osmosis.

Disinfection: UV.

Systems: Advanced CIP integrated systems, Deaeration, and Cartridge filtration systems.

Contaminants: We remove a variety of constituents from process liquids, and typical contaminants include ammonia, metals, organics, and ionic contaminants.

Wastewater Treatment

Envirogen offers a broad portfolio of technologies for the discharge phase, whether the goal is to meet permit requirements, reduce costs, or reduce water footprint.

Type

Technology

Advanced Wastewater Treatment

Membrane Bioractor (MBR) , Fluidized Bed Reactor (FBR), Suspended Carrier Reactor (SCR)

Recycle & Recovery

Recycle water systems, Rinse water recovery

Conventional Treatment

Phys-chem treatment, Coagulation & sedimentation, Direct filtration

Odor Control and Air Treatment

F&B plants often create nuisance odors from production processes (like meat, poultry, fish, chocolate, or coffee) or from wastewater treatment areas.

Contaminants Treated: Difficult nuisance odors such as hydrogen sulfide, aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, ammonia, and mercaptans, as well as various volatile organic compounds.

Technology: Envirogen offers a state-of-the-art portfolio of biological treatment systems, including biofilters, biotrickling filters, and combinations of the two technologies.

Flexibility: Systems handle a broad range of contaminants and flow rates—from 120 to over 100,000 gpm. Carbon adsorption systems can be added for polishing to meet state and local air quality regulatory programs.

Product Purification and Catalyst Recovery

Envirogen has proven capabilities in developing product purification, product recovery, and catalyst (metals) recovery processes.

Process Improvement: Proprietary and patented technologies for purifying process streams yield operational improvements while meeting environmental and financial goals.

Scope: Capabilities include removal of constituents from process liquids, such as alcohols, and other food and beverage fluids.

Global Success: Effective and Reliable Solutions

Envirogen is a leader in the food and beverage industry with a track record of providing effective, reliable solutions to a broad range of customer types. Our expertise is built on more than three decades of experience in managing industrial and municipal emissions, featuring advanced engineering concepts that can be tailored to provide a low lifecycle cost solution.
