A fairly familiar sight in horticulture, duckweed leads to a lot of additional maintenance work and frustration when it ends up in pipes or sticks to plant pots. High time that we did something about duckweed!

Safe and clean drinking water is a given for us. But how do we purify it and keep it clean and safe?

An emerging way of extracting heat from water and water sources is to harness the thermal energy in wastewater. Other aquathermy solutions, such as thermal energy from surface water, have also gained popularity and are widely used in the utilities sector. Even though these are different applications, they have one thing in common: high-quality filtration precisely where it’s needed is essential to protect heat exchangers and pumps.

We all want a more sustainable world. One of the most impactful steps we can take now is to reuse process water. There are various possible filtration set-ups that can be used to purify cooling water, process water and wastewater streams. We have put together a rundown of the most commonly used methods.

From filter plates to filter cartridges and precoat filters, each has its own advantages. Discover what depth filtration solution is the best fit for your process, product and requirements.

A reverse osmosis system (RO system) is not a filter, it is a membrane process, a high-end barrier that removes dissolved salts, minerals and organic contaminants from water. This is precisely why RO is so popular in food production, process water preparation and pharmaceutical applications.

No one wants a white haze in their whisky or crystal formation at the bottom of a bottle of rum. And yet haze and crystal formation still occur quite frequently in spirits. It is mostly caused by an inadequate or poorly configured filtration process.

Last week, we opened our first office in Belgium in the town of Brecht!

Dirt and debris have a way of gradually sneaking into the circulation systems of heating and cooling installations. Oxygen entrapment in combination with heightened temperatures causes steel components to oxidise, which leads to fine rust particles and magnetite ending up in the cooling or heating water, making it turn brown or even black.

For processes where liquids have to be filtered or separated from solids, a reliable and efficient approach is simply indispensable. BÈTA industrie’s standard screening machines are Dutch-designed and highly versatile. They combine robust performance with smart technology and can be used in many different applications in industries such as food production, the chemical industry, water treatment, horticulture, agriculture and recycling.

Multi-flow filter cartridges offer a sustainable solution for challenging applications and boast an extremely high dirt-trapping capacity, a long service life, and low maintenance needs. Three reasons to choose a multi-flow filter

A filtration process that is as sustainable as it is efficient is crucial for stable and cost-effective production. High-flow filter cartridges offer an innovative solution that can be used to optimise filtration processes. Read the five reasons to switch now.

Between 18 and 20 March, it’s happening: Aqua Nederland 2025. Like in previous years, we’ll be at this national water management trade fair again this year. Our stand will be H38.

Efficiency is crucial in food production. Every minute of downtime costs money, time, and may affect product quality. One of our customers in the cheese industry came up against a recurring problem in their existing filtration process for processed cheese.

This year’s edition of the horticulture trade fair, Horti Contact, will kick off on Tuesday 18 February. Needless to say, we’ll be there! Our stand will be G09, which is where you will find our team.

Soft drink manufacturers set very strict requirements for the quality of the coating used for their cans. For example, the protective coating must not have any irregularities, because otherwise it will peel off. This is, however, exactly what happened at one company that makes coatings for industries such as the food and beverage industry, prompting them to call on the know-how and expertise of BÈTA industrie’s specialists two years ago.

Filtration is a key part of wine bottling. After all, wine is a living product that may still contain bacteria when it is about to be bottled. It is essential, therefore, that the wine be as sterile as possible when it is bottled or otherwise packaged, so as to ensure its quality and shelf life. Wine bottlers obviously want this filtration to be done in the most cost-effective way possible, without it altering the essence of what is ultimately a natural product. This is, however, easier said than done, as shown by the following case of a Belgian bottling plant.

Torn filter bags are a common problem in industrial filtration processes. Tears are mostly caused by backflow. Backflow sometimes leads to filter bags folding over on themselves, causing them to be pushed back out and tearing when the process restarts and the bags are pressurised again.

There’s a saying in Dutch that goes ‘Goedkoop is duurkoop’, which means that the cheap option will work out more expensive in the long run, i.e. you always get what you pay for. This is definitely true for a filtration process where the quality of the end product is of the essence. A lower-quality filter element can make a production process grind to a halt or even lead to an entire batch having to be thrown away. This is the kind of costly mishap that everybody wants to avoid, and yet it still happens far too often.

Since we supply filtration solutions for a range of different processes, we get a lot of questions about our filters. Today we will answer the three most frequently asked questions about Bernoulli filters.

Thermal oil heat transfer systems are renowned for their reliable and efficient operation. However, in many systems we have seen significant contamination of the oil, which over time also affects the piping and equipment. As a result, heat transfer efficiency declines, components become damaged and overall energy costs increase.

During our collaboration with Ecomare, Kenneth and Sjoerd were deeply impressed by the work they do. Every year, they rescue hundreds of seals, take loving care of them and then give them a second chance in nature. It inspired us so much that we decided to adopt a grey seal in need!

All horticulture businesses and greenhouses face the challenge of managing their wastewater, which is often treated using traditional filters such as sand filters. A vibrating screen filters solids out of this wastewater, so that growers can reuse the treated wastewater as irrigation water. We frequently receive inquiries from companies seeking ways to optimise their water recycling systems to better comply with increasingly stringent regulations.

As water and wastewater treatment costs continue to rise, water reuse is becoming an increasingly effective way to cut costs.
