Irrigation and water: treatment, reuse and savings
With water stress, water has become a strategic issue for Moroccan farming and food processing. Every cubic metre saved or reused counts.
From orchard irrigation to cleaning production lines, water runs through the whole food chain. Plants have to guarantee compliant process water while cutting abstraction and treating their effluent.
We help measure consumption, choose the right treatment and reuse technologies, and run the installations over time.
Key process steps
- 01
Source and abstraction
Borehole, mains, surface water; volume monitoring.
- 02
Irrigation
Drip, fertigation, scheduling by crop demand.
- 03
Process water treatment
Filtration, softening, reverse osmosis, disinfection.
- 04
Plant uses
Fruit washing, boilers, cooling, CIP cleaning.
- 05
Effluent treatment
Pre-treatment, biological treatment, sludge.
- 06
Reuse
Recycling treated water for irrigation or technical uses.
The challenges we see
- Scarcer water and rising cost
- High-load effluent (COD, suspended solids)
- Process water quality and food-safety risk
- Environmental rules and customer expectations
How we help
- Water consumption audit and plant water balance
- Study and selection of treatment and reuse equipment
- CIP optimisation to cut water and chemicals
- Maintenance plan for treatment plants
- ISO 14001 support
Standards and frameworks
- Moroccan water law 36-15
- ISO 14001
- ISO 46001 (water efficiency)
- Process water quality requirements (HACCP)
