Martin White rounds up the day's top stories in the world of food and beverages, including: Diageo commits $150m to Scotch whisky investment programme, AB InBev develops new energy-efficient brewing method, and Bell & Evans to invest $260m to build poultry harvesting facility

Foodbev's Jesús Luna-Lopez spoke with Voltea's chief sales officer Dewitt Dees at the Water Quality Association Convention & Exposition 2018 about the company's water treatment technology.

Voltea's innovative CapDI water deionisation technology is designed to remove dissolved salts from water using electricity, and the process is suitable for tap water, industrially processed water and even brackish groundwater.

Dewitt claims that this process is more environmentally friendly than other water purification techniques, as he says the process consumes less energy and utilises fewer chemicals than other processes.

Dewitt also discusses the brand's DiUse technology, a miniaturised version of its CapDI system suitable for point-of-use applications.
