Water treatment for juice production

Rynkeby Foods A/S is the largest manufacturer of juice and cordials in the Nordic region.

In connection with an expansion of the production, there was also a need for a larger amount of process water. Grundfos has supplied the water treatment solution for producing the water qualities of softened water and demineralised water for the following purposes:

• cleaning
• make-up water for steam boiler
• rinse water for juice bottles
• lubricant for food grade pumps

Water treatment for hygienic washing of textiles

Grundfos has designed, produced, supplied, and installed a complete water treatment plant for producing water for washing of textiles and boiler feed water.

The company behind the laundry is SALESIANER MIETTEX, a well-known company with more than 100 years of experience within textile management. The production facility has great focus on sustainability and hygenic washing. 

Long life softener for heating plant

Softening units are a long-time investment and Grundfos uses the best materials available. That is why the existing water softener at a Danish heating plant was still running after 20 years. It was only due to a major renovation that it was decided to replace the existing plant with a newer model. According to the operator, it easily could have run for a few more years.

Grundfos has delivered and installed the new volume-controlled water softener and new pressure tank. Softening prevents calcium deposits in piping, steam boilers, and heat exchangers.

The advantage of a volume-controlled unit is that it fully utilises its capacity. It can be a good and economical solution for an irregular water consumption since the number of regenerations is adapted to the pattern of consumption.

The new water softener produces 2.500 m³ softened water per year, which is heated and through a pressure tank sent to the consumers.

Water softening (Ion Exchange) in municipal drinking water treatment

As the first water utility in Denmark, TÅRNBYFORSYNING is providing softened drinking water using ion exchange technology. The softening unit is supplied by Grundfos.

The presence of calcium (Ca) and/or magnesium (Mg) in water results in water being considered “hard.” Calcium and magnesium ions in water react with heat and metallic plumbing and will produce lime scale buildup. Further more, hard water reacts with chemical agents such as detergents to decrease the effectiveness of nearly any cleaning task. Hard water can be softened using an ion exchange softening process.
