Submerged membrane bioreactor system reduces costs & carbon in Breweries

ACWA Services’ innovative Memtreat® submerged membrane bioreactor system is being successfully used to treat challenging effluent in the UK’s breweries to a standard similar to potable water. Leading process technology solutions provider ACWA is installing its Memtreat® system throughout the UK to enable its brewery clients to deal economically with effluent and cope with increasing production volumes.

Often vital production processes themselves need to expand to cope with enlarged throughput. Frequently space is at a premium so the small-footprint Memtreat® system is seen as an ideal solution. The highly cost-effective process also ensures that breweries continue to meet their increasingly-stringent trade effluent discharge consents.

All breweries have highly-variable waste flows and loads, which depend on the current brewing process and cleaning regime. To ensure the optimum system configuration, data can be collected over a period of time and the resulting figures used as a basis for designing a treatment plant.
