Voltea’s Capacitive Deionization (CapDI) is emerging as a key technology for industries focused on water sustainability. PepsiCo, aiming for net water positivity by 2030, has partnered with Voltea to implement CapDI technology at its Oakland, CA bottling facility. This innovative system is designed to treat and recycle reverse osmosis (RO) reject water, reducing the need for freshwater in cooling tower operations.
The Voltea system achieved over 96% water recovery, a significant last-mile achievement towards the realization of PepsiCo’s ambitious water reduction target. By treating difficult RO wastewater with varying conductivity levels, the Voltea CapDI system converts it into water suitable for reuse. This reduces strain on freshwater resources, saves money, and reduces chemical consumption, all in support of PepsiCo’s industrial sustainability goals.
In August 2024, PepsiCo presented these results at the IWA World Water Congress in Toronto, showcasing how Voltea’s CapDI technology is contributing to their water conservation targets. The presentation emphasized CapDI’s role in improving water recovery rates and offering a sustainable solution for industrial water reuse.
Conclusion: Voltea’s CapDI system is helping PepsiCo achieve its sustainability goals while setting a new industry standard for water reuse. With over 96% recovery, the technology offers a powerful solution for reducing environmental impact and maximizing water resources in industrial processes.
