The brewing process generally produces high-strength wastewater as a by-product. This wastewater is rich in Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), primarily due to the carbohydrates and proteins used in beer production. Additionally, brewery wastewater typically maintains a temperature above 25°C, making it uniquely suited for specific treatment methods.
The high levels of soluble Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and the elevated temperature make brewery wastewater an excellent candidate for anaerobic treatment, often complemented by aerobic treatment, depending on local environmental regulations.
Financial considerations or regulatory requirements drive breweries to invest in advanced wastewater treatment solutions. These investments not only ensure compliance but also help reduce long-term operating costs.
AquaThane offers two highly effective, globally proven solutions for brewery wastewater treatment:
- Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB)
- External Circulation Sludge Bed (ECSB)
Our treatment plants are odour-free, compact, and can be installed close to urban areas without causing disruptions. Their innovative design ensures a small footprint while delivering exceptional performance.
