Nongfu Spring Recognized with Solenis Sustainability Award for Reducing Water, Energy and Natural Gas Consumption

WILMINGTON, Del. (USA) - Solenis, a leading global provider of water and hygiene solutions, today announced that Nongfu Spring has been selected as a recipient of the Solenis Sustainability Award for achieving significant resource reductions through the implementation of a rapid clean-in-place (CIP) program across its production operations.

"Through close collaboration and a focused evaluation of CIP performance, Nongfu Spring successfully reduced water, electricity and natural gas consumption while increasing operational availability," said Jerry Feng, Sales Director of Food and Beverage Solutions for Diversey North Asia. "This project demonstrates how process optimization and hygiene improvement can support sustainability goals and operational value."

Working with Diversey, a Solenis company, Nongfu Spring implemented a rapid-cycle CIP process across its Ultra High-Temperature processing systems and blending-and-filling lines. The process helped deliver substantial annual reductions in water, electricity and natural gas use, shortened CIP time and lowered carbon emissions.

The optimized rapid CIP process also helped each line gain additional production capacity.

Across Nongfu Spring plants where Solenis' Rapid CIP solution is now used on multiple filling lines, the program is supporting resource efficiency, carbon reduction and operational performance.

By helping validate and implement a faster, more efficient CIP process, Diversey enabled Nongfu Spring to advance its sustainability objectives while improving production flexibility and line availability.

Established in 2020, the Solenis Sustainability Awards recognize specific and verifiable customer projects that have, over a period of 12 months, delivered measurable results against at least one of five sustainability indicators: reduced water use, reduced energy consumption, decreased greenhouse gas emissions, optimized raw material utilization, or reduced waste.
