Greenomic – (R)evolution of proven technologies
Global players and small and medium-sized breweries have realised the savings potential offered by alternative filtration methods in terms of water consumption, disposal, inventory management etc. In addition, the disposal of traditional filter aids such as kieselguhr is currently under discussion, and the outcome of these discussions is uncertain. Begerow is responding to current and future questions regarding innovation and sustainability with its “greenomic” philosophy, while at the same time addressing economic aspects. Using three breweries as examples, this article explains the options this system offers and the associated average filtration costs compared with conventional kieselguhr filtration. The investment costs are not discussed, since they always depend on equipment that may already exist.
