The bakery industry is one of the largest water users in Europe and the US. With daily water consumption ranging anywhere from 10,000 to 300,000 gallons per day.

Back to Case Studies

More than half of the water used is discharged as wastewater, some of which relates to maintaining the cleanliness of the equipment using detergents. As a direct result, the level of waste water being generated has increased the regulations surrounding it. More bakery manufacturers have increasingly turned to water conservation, measurement, clean technology and pollution prevention in their production process.
