Neologic Engineers First Successful Membrane Filtration Installation for Varun Beverages Ltd

Varun Beverages Limited a.k.a VBL, manufactures, distributes, and sells a wide range of Carbonated Soft Drinks (CSD) and Non-Carbonated Beverages (NCB) including packaged drinking water. VBL is a diversified business conglomerate with interests in beverages, quick-service restaurants, ice-creams, and healthcare.

Known for manufacturing CSD and NCB products, VBL management decided to expand their product portfolio. As part of this expansion, VBL ventured into milk processing with a focus to commercialize whey, a valuable by-product of cheese production.

Varun Beverages Limited Production and Plant Requirements

VBL planning to expand their portfolio into cheese products required advanced equipment that could easily process cheese. They purchased Turkish cheese processing equipment to process high-quality cheese. But just purchasing Turkish equipment wasn’t enough, they required an equipment that would help process whey.

It was clear that to ensure seamless whey processing, VBL needed:

  • A robust Membrane Filtration System for whey concentration and purification.
  • Integration of Turkish cheese processing equipment with high precision automation.
  • End-to-end utility design and installation, including steam lines, chilled water silos, and distribution piping.

VBL placed their confidence in Neologic Engineers to execute this project.

Solutions Provided by Neologic Engineers

We designed a plan that was uniquely engineered to fit their unique requirements. We offered processing solution that consisted of:

  • Designed and implemented steam lines, chilled water silos, and distribution piping to support the new processing setup.
  • Installed a Nano Filtration and Reverse Osmosis system to optimize whey processing efficiency i.e., Advanced Membrane Filtration System.
  • Ensured high hygiene standards with automated cleaning cycles through Triple Circuit CIP (Clean-in-Place) Systems.
  • Customized automation to align with Turkish cheese processing machines for precise control and seamless operation.

Commissioning and Its Challenges

This project was completed on time and without major hurdles, marking a significant milestone in Neologic Engineers’ journey. Beyond membrane filtration, we also collaborated with Turkish equipment manufacturers to ensure flawless automation and process synchronization.

Output Achieved by VBL & Neologic Engineers

The Membrane Filtration system delivered the expected results in the very first production run. This successful trial run helped Varun Beverages start their actual production as per their expected timeline.

This project now stands as our first successful reference installation for membrane filtration, setting the stage for us to expand further into the dairy and whey processing industry.

Testimonial

“Their level of expertise and execution skills displayed in this project we phenomenal. Without any prior experience in Membrane Filtration installation, they managed to flawlessly install and integrate the entire plant in time. Apart from just installing Membrane Filtration unit, they actively collaborated with our Turkish suppliers to understand their technology and integrate their equipment seamlessly into the processing lines.
They have always stood true to their words and proved themselves year after year.”
