Boortmalt Salzgitter cuts levies by 65% with advanced water treatment

Boortmalt, the world’s largest malt producer, once again relies on Pantarein Water for sustainable water solutions. After a successful collaboration in Antwerp, a new project followed in Salzgitter, Germany.

Water treatment as a lever for sustainable growth

At the Salzgitter facility, wastewater is first treated on-site and then discharged via the sewer to a municipal WWTP for further purification.
To further reduce its environmental footprint and operational costs, Boortmalt implemented an additional treatment step: post-treatment with reverse osmosis, allowing recovery of process water.

Thanks to this circular approach:

  • Boortmalt significantly reduces its intake of mains water
  • The company achieves up to 65% savings on discharge levies

Optimizing performance with membrane filtration

To maximize the efficiency of the membrane filtration, the existing treatment plant was converted into a full membrane filtration system.

Pantarein Water installed two mobile rental membrane units in 2018 and continues to support the site with monitoring and optimisation.
