At their Valencia, Venezuela plant, conditions were not optimal on their recovery water filtered for the production process. Their sand filter technology to recycle and reuse that water stream was inefficient – constantly clogging with fines, flocs and lime, requiring unacceptable maintenance, and recycling only 50% of the discharged water.
Eco BCG collaborated with Coca-Cola FEMSA with the design and installation of a dual, automatic cleaning filter process for the discharged stream. The micron filter was far more effective in removing suspended solids than their previous technology; the second filter, further cleansed the water so that 95% of the backwash water is now recycled and reused in the production plant, returning usable water at a flow rate of 88 gpm.
