Process Pump & Dosing Solutions for Food and Beverage Plants
Petrox Engineering supports food and beverage plants with application review for ingredient transfer, utility chemicals, water treatment, cleaning systems and effluent treatment, with hygienic requirements defined duty by duty.
Applications
Where Petrox supports food and beverage
CIP chemical dosing
Acid, alkali and approved cleaning-chemical feed based on concentration, temperature, control sequence and material compatibility.
Water-treatment chemicals
Coagulant, antiscalant, pH correction and disinfection chemical dosing for process and utility water systems.
Viscous product transfer
Screw-pump evaluation for compatible viscous, shear-sensitive fluids where low-pulsation delivery is required.
Utility and boiler chemicals
Metering systems for approved boiler-water and cooling-water treatment chemicals outside direct product contact.
Effluent-treatment systems
Chemical preparation, dosing and sludge-transfer equipment for food and beverage wastewater treatment.
Operating challenges

Frequently asked questions
Technical questions from project teams
Are all Petrox pump configurations food-grade?
No. Food-contact suitability depends on the selected model, wetted materials, surface finish, seals, cleanability and applicable plant standard. Direct-contact duties require specific confirmation.
Can Petrox support both process and ETP requirements?
Yes, but each duty is reviewed separately because hygiene, materials, controls and maintenance requirements differ.
