Anaerobic Treatment of wastewater in a brewery

A joint venture with a specialist in water treatment enabled us to install a pilot plan in a brewery which digested wastewater thereby reducing charges payable to the water authority by over �1m per annum.  A significant by-product was the provision of methane which was used to drive a CHP engine.  This in turn allowed the brewery to sell Renewable Obligation Certificates (ROCs) to an electricity supplier.

“Effective analysis facilitated prudent investment, which yielded added-value energy utilisation, and resulted in improved profitability, plus enhanced environmental responsibility and recognition.”
