The global food and beverage industry for 2019 about $8.7 trillion or about 8% of the world’s GDP.
While it is obvious that food is of equal importance to all people on planet Earth, the relative cost of that food is not equal.
The segments in the food and beverages market include alcoholic – beverages, non alcoholic – beverages, pet food, tobacco, grain products, meat, poultry and seafood, fruit and vegetable canning, pickling, and drying, frozen food, and dairy. Food and beverage industry is divided into two major segments i.e production and distribution of edible goods.
Production includes the processing of meats and cheeses and the creating of soft drinks, alcoholic beverages, packaged foods, and other modified foods.
Food & Beverage industry production has various process depending upon raw materials such as juice concentrates, grains, milk products. Typical process involves cleaning, blending, sterilization, fermentation, drying, cooling, filtration, packaging of the finished products.
In various process compressed air play vital role in conveying raw materials and also steam boiler for heating & sterilization process is of prime importance. Also wastewater treatment process also needs to be optimized. Due to organic waste in food & beverage wastewater treatment process generates biogas which is recovered for using in Boiler fuel.
