Recent Developments in Biological Treatment of Brewery Effluent
نویسندگان
چکیده
During the last two decades the brewing industry has shown increasing awareness for environmental protection and the need of sustainable production processes. Implementation of ISO 14001 certification and more stringent environmental legislation have been important drivers for the brewing industry to invest in biological effluent treatment. The role of biological effluent treatment is discussed with special attention is given to combined anaerobic/aerobic treatment. Combining anaerobic pre-treatment with aerobic post-treatment integrates the advantages of both processes amongst which reduced energy consumption (net energy production), reduced biological sludge production and limited space requirements, are of importance. The combination allows for significant savings on operational costs as compared to complete aerobic treatment without compromising the required discharge standards.

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...
متن کاملPerformance Evaluation of Brewery Biological Wastewater Treatment Plant
Brewing is the process is for production of beer [1,2]. It is said that for every 1 liter of beer production approximate 10 liters of water is used [3]. The water in any brewery is typically used for brewing, rising and cooling process [3]. The various steps that are involved in brewing process are malt production and handling, worth preparation, fermentation, filtration, CIP and finally packag...
متن کاملEstimation of Bio-Kinetic Coefficients for Treatment of Brewery Wastewater
Anaerobic modeling is a useful tool to describe and simulate the condition and behaviour of anaerobic treatment units for better effluent quality and biogas generation. The present investigation deals with the anaerobic treatment of brewery wastewater with varying organic loads. The chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total suspended solids (TSS) of the influent and effluent of the bioreactor were...
متن کاملTreatment of Brewery Wastewater Effluent Using Activated Carbon Prepared from Coconut Shell
The use and effectiveness of granular and powder activated carbon made from agricultural waste (coconut shell) in the removal of organic matter in wastewater effluents from a brewery industry were investigated. The effect of process variables such as carbonisation temperature, carbonisation duration and activation temperature on the production and quality of activated carbon was studied. Experi...
متن کاملPotential 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...
