Solving PepsiCo’s Biggest Process Water Challenges
Reduce BOD in Process Water
Are you faced with unpredictable and costly monthly sewage bills? The culprit is BOD, and manufacturing facilities produce some of the highest BOD process water.
Bad batches, starchy process water, and expired products all increase BOD in the process water you discharge, and lead to unpredictable monthly bills.
Handle production variability with ease. Aquacycl’s process water treatment ensures you maintain compliance to avoid costly fines, reduce business risks, gain predictable pricing, and enhance operational efficiency.
Achieve Sustainability Goals
Utilize process water to achieve your pep+ carbon and water goals without forgoing your operations or damaging your bottom line.
Reduce Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions through Aquacycl’s energy-neutral, methane-free process water treatment that helps you decarbonize your value chain.
Enable process water reuse to achieve a 1.2 water-use-ratio in beverage facilities or 0.4 water-use-ratio in convenient food facilities in water stressed areas.

“One other cool thing about them being electrogenic — you can hook up probes to their computer and they can actually, from down in San Diego, remotely monitor each cell and tell you how healthy the bug colonies are in each cell because they’re releasing these electrons as they eat sugar,”
