Abstract
The industrial transformation of food and beverages requires a huge quantity of water that generates highly polluted wastewaters. This chapter gives an overview of membrane-based processes for water reuse and environmental control in the treatment of wastewaters from the food-processing industry. Applications involving the use of pressure-driven membrane operations, electrodialysis, membrane bioreactors, and integrated membrane systems are analyzed and discussed. Typical applications for the treatment of process waters from fruit and vegetables, dairy, fish, meat, soya, and wine industries are illustrated, highlighting advantages and drawbacks compared with conventional technologies.
