Water Treatment Solutions for
Food Processing
The food processing industry demands the highest water quality while maximizing efficiency and minimizing costs. From fruit, vegetable, and sugar processing to frozen food and everything in between, Newterra provides comprehensive water and wastewater treatment solutions that ensure consistent product quality, regulatory compliance, and sustainable operations.
Seasonal Flows, Variable Wastewater, Reliable Treatment
Food processing feedstocks and wastewater are never consistent. Newterra’s water treatment systems are designed to adapt to fluctuations in cycles and batch production, effectively delivering reliable treated process water or treated wastewater under changing operating conditions.
Post-Harvest Processing
During peak harvest season, food processors need reliable systems that keep production moving at full capacity. Newterra delivers high-capacity, modular water and wastewater solutions engineered for uptime, fast deployment, and dependable performance during critical processing windows.
Built for Food Industry Wastewater Challenges
Food processing wastewater can shift rapidly due to batch production and CIP cleaning cycles. Newterra systems are engineered to handle variable flows, high solids, and changing organic loads while maintaining consistent treatment performance and reliable compliance.
Rental Options for Peak Demands
Many processors operate at full capacity only during a short harvest season, making permanent upgrades costly. Newterra offers flexible rental water and wastewater treatment systems to provide the capacity you need during peak demand, without long-term infrastructure investment.
Full Plant Treatment Capability
Beyond production water needs, food facilities require reliable utility water for boilers, chillers, heaters, and cooling towers. Newterra provides integrated solutions that support stable plant performance while enabling water recovery, reuse, and reduced operating costs.
Built for Seasonal Peaks & Variable, High-Solids Wastewater
From harvest peaks to year-round operations, Newterra delivers modular water and wastewater systems built for variable solids and organics. Our solutions support compliance, water reuse, and reliable performance across changing production cycles.
Raw Water Treatment Plant
Raw Water Treatment Plant
Newterra treats incoming water, whether municipal supply, ground, well or onsite reuse, so it’s ready for production. With the right mix of pretreatment, filtration, and disinfection, water quality is matched to the needs of each use point across the facility.
Utility & Thermal Water
Utility & Thermal Water
For heating, cooling, boilers, towers, and plant washdown, Newterra conditions water to protect equipment and maintain efficiency. Filtration and dissolved solids treatment reduce scaling, corrosion, and fouling, helping utilities run reliably with fewer interruptions.
Water Reuse
Water Reuse
Water reuse systems treat wastewater to a higher standard so it can be returned to operations rather than discharged. A common approach combines membrane treatment with disinfection. Recovered water can then be used for cooling towers, boilers, irrigation, cleaning, or process applications, reducing freshwater demand and wastewater disposal costs.
Process Water
Process Water
For product-contact uses like ingredient, washing, bottle rinsing and CIP, Newterra delivers consistent quality. Advanced filtration and disinfection help meet safety standards while protecting taste, clarity, and process control.
Safe Discharge
Wastewater Treatment Plant
Wastewater Treatment Plant
Industrial wastewater treatment is designed around the contaminants generated by manufacturing processes. Treatment may include solids removal, pH adjustment, metals precipitation, clarification, biological treatment, membrane filtration, and advanced treatment. The goal is to reduce pollutants, protect receiving waters, recover valuable resources where possible and meet discharge permits.
