TECHNOLOGY OF WATER PURIFICATION FOR THE USE IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY

U radu je prikazana važnost vode kao jednog od temeljnih elemenata za život i odvijanje svih procesa važnih za opstanak živih bića. Prehrambena industrija temeljna je industrija za opstanak svih živih bića, ali i industrija koja za svoj rad koristi velike količine vode, a obrađenu vodu vraća u prirodu. Stoga je važno pratiti kvalitetu vode koja se koristi za proizvodnju prehrambenih proizvoda, ali i vode koja se koristi u radu strojeva te otpadne vode koja se vraća u prirodu. Potrebno je stalno prikupljati uzorke, analizirati ih pomoću suvremenih tehnologija te vršiti ispitivanja kvalitete vode. Važno je razvijati nove materijale u izgradnji strojeva koji su otporniji na koroziju i ostala djelovanja vode. Eksperimentalni dio rada vezan je uz Istarsku pivovaru gdje su prikupljeni i obrađeni podaci o navedenim procesima za analizu i obradu vode te tehnologije i uvjeti prema kojima pivovara posluje.This paper presents the importance of water as one of the fundamental elements for life and the development of all processes important for survival of living beings. The food industry is a fundamental industry for the survival of all living beings, but also the industry that uses large amounts of water for its work and returns the treated water to nature. It is therefore important to monitor the quality of water used for the production of food products, but also the water used in the operation of these waste water that returns to nature. It is necessary to constantly collect samples, analyze them using modern technologies and conduct water quality testing. It is important to develop new materials in the construction of machines that are more resistant to corrosion and other water activities. The experimental part of this paper is related to the Istrian Brewery where data were collected and processed about the processes for analyzing water treatment and technology and the conditions according to which the brewery operates
