Potential Applications of Some Indigenous Bacteria Isolated from Polluted Areas in the Treatment of Brewery Effluents

Biological wastewater treatment is economically feasible and ecofriendly. This study was aimed at isolating bacteria from brewery wastes and evaluating their bioremediation potential as individual isolate and/or their consortium in reducing the pollutants of brewery effluents. A total of 40 bacterial isolates were recovered and of these the three best isolates were selected. The selected bacter...

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...

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 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...
