Revolutionizing Egg Processing with Reverse Osmosis Technology

"Since adopting SANOVO's RO technology, we have achieved energy savings of ~1 GWh/year, which aligns perfectly with our goal of minimizing our environmental footprint," says Andreas Huetter, CEO

For EiVita Austria KG the replacement of their existing Ultrafiltration to a Reverse Osmosis machine has further reduced the energy usage in their production processes. By increasing the dry matter concentration of liquid egg whites from 22% to 33%, the RO system has significantly reduced the energy required for water evaporation in the spray dryer. This enhancement has led to a 43% reduction in energy consumption for drying Egg White Powder.
In addition, by going from the Ultrafiltration to Reverse Osmosis technology, EiVita has reduced the waste of dry matter in the permeate water resulting in a +2% higher powder output. All in all, energy savings, reduced labor cost and increased yield is translating to an annual cost reduction of € ~ 180.000.

Production Optimization: Maximizing Output and Quality

The impact of RO technology extends beyond energy savings and increased yield. By pre-concentrating liquid egg before drying, EiVita has experienced a remarkable 75% increase in drying capacity for the egg white dryer, allowing them to scale production without additional investments in infrastructure. This capacity boost ensures that the production process runs smoothly even during peak demand periods while optimizing resource allocation.
Moreover, the advanced RO system ensures consistent, high-quality egg powder output, thanks to its gentle handling of liquid egg whites and precise dry matter control.

"The ability to maintain product quality at higher concentrations has given us a competitive edge in the market." Andreas Huetter, CEO explains.

Sustainability: Driving ESG Goals

In line with their ESG objectives, EiVita has leveraged SANOVO's RO technology to make significant strides in sustainability. The transition to RO-based concentration has reduced their reliance on fossil fuels by utilizing electricity sourced from renewable energy. Additionally, the system's low water and chemical usage further underscores its environmentally friendly design.

For EiVita, SANOVO's Reverse Osmosis technology has proven to be a game-changer, delivering measurable benefits in energy efficiency, production capacity, and sustainability. This partnership showcases how innovative solutions can empower businesses to thrive while contributing to a greener future.

At SANOVO, we remain committed to developing technologies that enable our customers to lead the way in sustainable egg processing. Together, we're building a better tomorrow-one innovative solution at a time.
