A NOVEL PILOT BREWERY

Powering the porter brewery.

Before canals and railways developed as a major transport network, it was seldom profitable to transport beer inland over more than a few miles. In country towns and villages, therefore, beer would be brewed either by a small 'common' brewery that supplied a handful of pubs and private customers, or in an even smaller brew-house attached to the pub itself. Many families also brewed their own be...

A Neural Network Tool for Brewery Fermentations

Fermentation is an important, if not the most important process step in the production of beer. It is subject to alterations stemming from the variation in the yeast, a living organism, and due to the complex raw materials of biological origin. The variability may manifest in changes in the fermentation speed or cause off-flavors in beer. Thus, there is a need for tools, both analytical and com...

Characterization of Brewery Wastewater Composition

Industries produce millions of cubic meters of effluent every year and the wastewater produced may be released into the surrounding water bodies, treated on-site or at municipal treatment plants. The determination of organic matter in the wastewater generated is very important to avoid any negative effect on the aquatic ecosystem. The scope of the present work is to assess the physicochemical c...

A novel high vacuum chest drainage system – a pilot study*

AIM To assess the safety and feasibility of use of a novel high vacuum chest drainage system (HVCDS) and its influence on the cardiovascular system compared to a conventional system (CCDS). MATERIAL AND METHODS Five anesthetized pigs underwent a median sternotomy. Three drains were placed in retrocardiac, retrosternal and left pleural positions. The animals received a HVCDS (22 Fr with 180 2-...
