Pall Aria™ System Rescues Bottled Spring Water Producer from Plant Closure Overview Spring water is a valuable natural resource, which requires good purification treatment before appearing on grocery store shelves as high purity, visually pleasing bottled product. Filtration is a key process step required to achieve consistently high product quality. The costs associated with filtration may be substantial, depending on source water quality. Disposable filters are a technically sound solution but their use may become economically unsustainable in the face of difficult or variable quality source water. When operational costs related to disposable filter spend, process downtime, and labor expenditures become too high, a backwashable water purification system boasting substantially lower cost of ownership for water treatment becomes Pall Aria FB-4 Water Filtration System very attractive. The Pall Aria FB system for the food and beverage industry is an exceptional solution for expenditure, process downtime, and operational providing high purity water, and it has been inefficiency. A yearly disposable filter spend of US implemented across the globe to reduce water $2.16 / m3 (US $0.82 / 100 US gal) of bottled filtration costs and achieve brand protection. spring water was not uncommon, and this figure The Challenge did not include all the additional process-related costs.
