Brewery Utility
Boiler
Breweries rely on steam heating for a number of reasons — primarily for the Rice, Mash & Wort kettles and to produce hot water for CIP & brewing process. Steam is also required to keep solutions at the right temperatures and is used in washer & pasteurization heating for bottling plant. Choosing the right boiler is crucial to ensuring that you can meet production demands without wasting time or energy.
Refrigeration
Refrigeration is one of the most critical part of the brewery sector to maintain specific temperatures required in the brewing process. Refrigeration system with a glycol circuit assures temperatures control in the double-walled fermentation tanks, making of chilled water for the wort cooling process.
CO2 Recovery Plant
CO2 Recovery Plant takes CO2 gas from the fermentation process passes through a series of purification processes namely - a stainless steel CO2 foam trap to separate the gas, A deodoriser . From the fermentation tanks the CO2 is first led to the foam separator. In this stage, the foam entrained from the fermentation tanks is separated.
Through low-pressure gas storage balloon the gas flows into the gas scrubber, where it is cleaned by counter flow of water. In the gas scrubber water-soluble impurities and aerosols are absorbed from the carbon dioxide.
Compressed Air Systems
Compressed air systems are the third most important utility in breweries.
IN BREWERY COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEMS USED IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS:
- To aerate wort, yeast, or water, in the form of dry, oil-free, sterile air
- As a purge gas to displace CO2 from tanks prior to being cleaned in place (CIP) with caustic, in the form of oil-free, sterile air
- To modulate valves in valve control operations, in the form of dry, oil-free air
- As an energy carrier to drive air tools, in the form of dry air
- As an energy carrier for the pneumatic transportation of solids, such as spent grains, whole malt, sugar, and filter media, in the form of oil-free, and where necessary, dry air
Water Treatment Plant (WTP)
Clean water is arguably the key ingredient in beer making.
IN BREWERY WATER USED IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS:
RO/DM Water is used for the Brewing Process for making Beer.
SOFT Water is used for the :
- Process Cleaning in CIP process
- Bottle Washer
- Pasteurizer
- Boiler feed water
- Cooling Towers
FILTER Water is used for the :
- General services
- Floor Cleaning
- Gardening
Effulent Treatment Plant (ETP)
Effluent Treatment Plant is used to remove all the pollutants from brewery effluent it mainly consist of two streams, first from the residual substances from production such as Yeast, fermentation, kieselguhr filter. The second main stream of brewery waste water comes from the cleaning of Brew house vessels, fermentation and other process tanks and bottle washing.
