Water tanks at food processing plant, The Philippines

Our dealer in the Philippines installed six NPI steel water tanks at their food processing plant. In this facility they produce milk drinks.

Of the six water storage tanks, two of them have a capacity of 100 m3 each. They measure 4,57 m in height and have a diameter of 5,49 m. These tanks store harvested rainwater, that in the facility is used for washing and cleaning. The other four tanks have a height of 3,05 m and a diameter of 4,57 m. They store ground water, that is used in the production of milk drinks after reverse osmosis. All water tanks are covered with a tensioned anti-algae covers, to maintain optimal water quality.

The Philippines is an ideal country for rainwater harvesting. With large parts of the archipelago receiving substantial rainfall each year, installing water storage systems to collect rainwater is beneficial. This way, rainwater can be reused, which is important in the context of climate change. Additionally, wetter times may be ahead for the Philippines, as the current El Niño phenomenon is expected to be followed by La Niña, bringing even more rainwater.

The water stored in water tanks undergoes reverse osmosis to ensure it meets high purity standards before being used in the production process of milk drinks. This helps ensure the quality and safety of the final product. Their milk drinks are supplied to supplement nutritional needs of school children.
