When Aviko embarked on an ambitious project to construct a state-of-the-art production facility in Poperinge, Belgium, they recognised the need for a reliable and efficient water treatment solution to support this. This new plant was designed to meet the growing demand for Aviko's frozen potato products while adhering to stringent quality and sustainability standards.
To achieve this, Aviko invested in Veolia Water Technologies' Biothane Advanced UASB anaerobic reactor, coupled with a sophisticated two-stage anaerobic-aerobic treatment process featuring advanced nutrient removal. This comprehensive approach not only significantly cut down the greenhouse gas emissions from the company’s operations annually but also reduced operational costs by using the generated biogas to heat process water in its production line.
