Beverage industry

In the beverage production process, rinsing and cleaning wastewater is generated, which must be treated in accordance with legal and operational requirements. Depending on the composition of the wastewater, mechanical and aerobic biological treatment methods are employed. In breweries, due to the high organic load, anaerobic treatment—which also allows for biogas production—is often an ideal solution.

Since 1995, CUSS GmbH has been developing and implementing fully biological wastewater treatment plants for the beverage industry. With decades of experience across the soft drink, fruit juice, tea, and brewing sectors, we create customized solutions tailored to the specific needs of our clients.

Long-standing client relationships and successful projects worldwide attest to our commitment to quality, innovation, and collaborative partnership.

Brewery in Ukraine

Construction of a new wastewater treatment plant for the complete biological treatment of brewery wastewater in Ukraine with a multi-stage anaerobic-aerobic concept. By using secondary energy sources, an economically productive process was realised.

Wastewater recycling of a softdrink bottling plant

In cooperation with our sister company Chriwa, a wastewater recycling plant was designed for a soft drink producer in Peru.

Aerobic wastewater treatment on a Carribean island

On behalf of a beverage bottler for beer and soft drinks, CUSS built a wastewater treatment plant on a Caribbean Island in 2011.The wastewater mixture discharge from the production facility was to be completely cleaned as part of the wastewater treatment so that is could be discharged to the receiving waters.

Upgrading of a biological treatment plant for beverage wastewater in Malaysia

Upgrading of a wastewater treatment plant for the biological treatment of beverage wastewater in Malaysia by means of multi-stage anaerobic-aerobic treatment using EGSB and MBR technology.

Wastewater Treatment for water reuse in a water scarce province in Saudi Arabia

A renowned soft-drink manufacturer consulted CUSS to design and install a new wastewater treatment plant at a greenfield factory in terms of complying with high local environmental standards. A combination of anaerobic and aerobic biological treatment was chosen to decrease overall operational expenditures.

SBR activation treatment to receiving water quality

In 1996, a well-known international softdrink producer has built a large beverage production plant as a greenfield project in Ukraine. The waste water, originating from production, processing and bottling is fed into a SBR system and treated up to receiving water quality. Within the ramework the plant was extended in 2010 as part of a second construction phase.
