Sustainable Beverage ConceptIntroduction
In an increasingly competitive marketplace that has seen the consumption of non-alcoholic beverages
grow rapidly, producers must nd highly exible and sustainable processes. As the variety of beverages
has expanded to include carbonated soft drinks, mineral and bottled water, juices, and energy and health
drinks the entire industry is challenged, especially due to the rather short shelf life of many of these
products.

Continuous
Continuous multi-stream blending
Continuous in-line blending is utilized to blend the nished product and reduces product losses to a minimum. In a constant ratio,
the various liquid components are already mixed in the pipeline. Homogenous blending of products with high viscosity is ensured
by using static mixers.
Continuous crystal sugar dissolving
To dissolve dry or liquid sugar continuous dissolving of sugar is utilized. A fully automated system with ow rates of up to 20 m3/h
is equipped with accurate in-line Brix measurement (+/- 0,1) treating sugar up to 72 Brix and 85 C dissolving temperature.
Custom-made systems, pipework and valve manifolds can be designed in accordance with ISO, EN , FDA & EHEDG guidelines and
regulations.
Automated and fully integrated syrup rooms
Continuous or batch multi-stream blending and carbonation, process water deaeration systems, and powder dissolving systems
are designed to achieve signicant savings on raw material usage, water and energy consumption. The highly automated beverage
process requires minimal labor, which results in additional operating cost-savings. A compact footprint with an ideal beverage
plant design lowers investments to the absolute minimum. The control systems provide for product traceability and multi-receipt
management.
Aseptic product processing
Products with a pH value in the range of 6 and 7, carbonated or non-carbonated products and those containing pulp and bers
are very sensitive. Norits extensive range of aseptic valves and aseptic process systems, which provide a continuous analysis of the
sterility, is ideal to meet the e ver demanding safety standards for sensitive products.
Beverage ProcessingSugar TreatmentLiquid sugar decolorization & deodorization
In the sugar and beverage industries activated carbon is used for decolorization and deodorization to
improve the sensory characteristics of sugar syrup. Depending on the origin of the sugar and the type
of beverage produced, dedicated powdered and granular activated carbon (PAC/GAC) grades can be
used to meet the high standards for color and sensory characteristics for any non-alcoholic beverage.
Regenerable activated carbon is used to improve the efciency, health, safety and sustainability of
the raw material management. This is specically important when decolorizing low quality sugar.
Fruit juices
Norit offers dedicated decolorizing carbon grades removing colorants such as polyphenols and
melanoidins from fruit juices like apple and grape juice, minimizing membrane damage and
maximizing throughput. Other carbon grades are used to remove undesirable taste compounds and
color precursors.
A good denition for a quality beverage is a beverage that consistently meets specifcation . To
ensure consistency and that the required specications are met, each step of the production process
in a beverage production plant should be controlled, starting with the arrival of raw materials to
the analysis of product samples taken randomly among the bottles in the holding room. Norit has
solutions for the following quality control aspects:
Total CO2
and O2
management (in-line, at-line and lab)
Brix measurement (in-line)
Monitoring of downstream processes such as pasteurization or keg/bottle washing (in-line)
In addition to individual pieces of equipment Norit offers a T otal
Lab Solution (TLS). Each TLS project is customized, whether it is
upgrading an existing lab or part of a new beverage plant. As
needed a TLS can include layout, design and equipping of the
laboratory, in-house training, and commissioning of the project.
In a comprehensive sweep, Norit provides or sources the
supply of lab furniture, quality control equipment, glassware,
consumables, chemicals and anything else a customer may
need. The advantage of a TLS project lies with the expertise that
Norit provides by overseeing the entire project from concept
to commissioning to after-sales service with advanced operator
training courses in the area of preventive maintenance.

Water & CO2
Water management
When assessing and reducing the environmental footprint of a beverage production plant, one focus area is the reduction of the
water footprint. Because water is essential to beverages both as an ingredient and in the production process, it must be given special
attention. Norits expertise in water use and its wide range of technologies provide the ideal solution for water management in non-
alcoholic beverage production plants.
A Water Audit determines the current water usage and water streams in a production plant and highlights opportunities to
reduce overall water consumption.
Process water polishing prepares product water to comply with the specic needs of a production plant utilizing membrane
technology and activated carbon (decolorization and THM removal).
Wastewater treatment with MBR technology provides better water quality, smaller footprint, less sludge, adherence t o
legislation, and reduced handling costs when compared to conventional wastewater tre atment.
Efuent polishing prepares efuent for specic process requirements with activated carbon or membrane treatment.
Pilot plant sand ltration for mineral water
Before investing in a full-scale plant setting up a test lter for sand ltration
of mineral water, which removes unwanted alkaline soil particles and
deaerates methane and sulde through the headspace, allows for testing
under production parameters. The collected information is used to design a
tailor-made plant, which meets the needs of the customer including reduced
product losses.
CO2
purication, liquefaction and storage
CO2
is the sparkling element and important ingredient in carbonated soft
drinks, mineral and bottled water. The CO2
used in the beverage industry
usually originates from two sources - fermentation or generation sources.
Breweries
In the production process CO2
is not only added to the beverage, but also
used as a protective atmosphere during bottling, canning or transporting
the product. CO2
originates from fermentation sources such as brewing is
often only puried by GAC to remove taste and odor causing compounds
including H2S and mercaptanes, and other organic compounds. Breweries
use a Norit High Low Purity (HLP) plant design to recover food-grade CO2
to
meet their demand for beer production. Surplus CO2
can be used for non-
alcoholic beverage production with the benet of not containing any food-
alien substances.
External sources
When the CO2
comes from external sources such as the burning of fossil
fuel, it is common practice to treat the CO2
with GAC before it can be used
as an additive to assure the removal of traces of taste and odor causing
compounds, and eliminate any traces of aromatic hydrocarbons.
Today, service is much more than just repair and maintenance. Service contracts are an integral part of your preventive maintenance
program. During project management, Norits service team is introduced to the customer and assists with commissioning. On-site
the service team gathers valuable information about the local conditions of an operation. With performance data monitoring, they
are able to acquire long-term data, which ensures that troubleshooting and service activities can be very efcient and to the point
in case of an emergency. Depending on the type of service level agreement, a customer can solely focus on the core business and
be assured that the potential for continuous improvement of a plant is explored on a regular basis.
Norits lifecycle/service management can be divided into two phases: design and operation. Proposal/planning, contract
management, and engineering up to commissioning are typical design services. Start-up, monitoring, consulting (24/7 helpdesk),
maintenance/ replacement of components, evaluation and optimization are components of the operation services. The overall
goal is to secure that an operation is running in the best possible and most cost-efcient way.
One of Norits service beliefs is that acting is always better than reacting. Our pro-active service approach aims at:
Improving production periods
Reducing downtime
Lowering the energy consumption
Limiting maintenance costs to a bare minimum
Increasing the ROI of an operation
