Pantarein Water helped Volys reduce its wastewater costs by 60% with a carefully designed pre-treatment solution.

Water efficiency in the food industry

Volys is a Belgian food company producing ready-to-eat poultry meals since 1946. With a strong export market in Europe and the Middle East, wastewater management is a key concern.

Although wastewater is sent to Aquafin for central treatment, Volys sought to lower its discharge fees and ensure compliance with discharge regulations. That’s where Pantarein Water came in. 

Smart design, tangible results

In 2017, we implemented a pre-treatment line including:

  • a physicochemical treatment (DAF)
  • sludge dewatering

The outcome: a 60% reduction in operational water charges. The system also prepares Volys for potential future steps, like full biological treatment or water reuse.
