Most of the reverse osmosis treatment plants are situated on the whims of the ocean or water bodies. So are many industries including the food processing industry. Agriculture alone takes up more than half of our freshwater reserved as vegetables, fruits and grains require it to grow. However, one of the major concerns of at least 33 percent of consumers is whether the food processed is safe for consumption.
“There's always the fear of diseases like E. coli that can cause serious health problems. Food processing industries, therefore, remain careful in their approach and dread an outbreak. Every system and process they use has to be up to the health standards specified by regulatory boards and the facility has to remain hygienic. As a precautionary measure, almost every food processing industry has systems that are run on Reverse Osmosis,” says Sammy Farag, CEO of AMPAC USA.
