Membrane processes for treatment of aerobically pre-clarified effluent from maltings
In maltings, breweries and beverage operations, water is the most important raw material and it is indispensable. As this resource is becoming increasingly scarcer and expensive worldwide, the section is making every effort to save water. Apart from lowering water consumption, recycling of production water is a further possibility for reducing water consumption, effluent and associated costs. The Weihenstephan Research Centre for Brewing and Food Quality has investigated processes capable of transforming pre-clarified effluent into drinking water.
