REWARD: Bæredygtig anvendelse af procesvand

Mejeriindustrien omsætter store mængder af vand. Genanvendeligheden af dette vand afhænger af mængden af de næringsstoffer, som vandet indeholder. Projektet skaber grundlaget for en mere bæredygtig anvendelse af procesvand i mejeriindustrien.

Af: Grith Mortensen 

Ideen om at vand udgør en uudtømmelig ressource tilhører fortiden. Fødevare- og bioprocesserings-industrien er nogle af de største brugere og udledere af procesvand. Procesvand er en miljøbyrde, men er potentielt også en stor, uudnyttet ressource, der med fordel kan genbruges i produktionen. REWARD-projektet vil forsyne dansk fødevare- og bioprocesseringsindustri med grundlæggende teknologi og viden, som muliggør en langt mere effektiv udnyttelse af vand, og dermed bringer producenterne tættere på en 100 % bæredygtig produktion. REWARD anvender de effektive principper bag Process Analytical Technology (PAT) og Quality by Design (QbD) samt Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) til at minimere forbruget af drikkevand og øge genbrug af proces- og rengøringsvand.

REWARDs mål er: (i) at udvikle og implementere nye højteknologiske sensorsystemer, der kan følge de kemiske og biologiske komponenter i procesvandstrømme og vandbehandlingens effektivitet samt (ii) at udvikle en helt ny fremgangsmåde til at optimere rensning af procesvand. Det er målet, at projektet placerer dansk videnskab, uddannelse og teknologi i det internationale førerfelt mht. udvikling og eksport af nye vandbesparende koncepter, ny vand-management-teknologi og uddannelse inden for optimering af vandudnyttelse og -kvalitet i forarbejdningsindustrien.

Projektet tager udgangs­punkt i valle omvendt osmose-permeat fra Danmark Protein A/S samt omvendt osmose-vand fra et typisk
