Pie Eyed Monk is a locally-owned and operated brewpub located in Lindsay, Ontario, consisting of a restaurant and a seven-barrel brew house that produces seven hand-crafted beers. Like all brewing facilities, its operations generate wastewater with elevated concentrations of particular regulated substances-a by-product of brewing with protein and carbohydrates. Currently, the business manages their wastewater using an advanced membrane filtration treatment system that has been adapted to meet the specialized needs of a brewery environment. During periods of intensive brewing, excessive foaming has occurred throughout the system resulting in approximately 5-10% of the wort (which is converted to beer) lost to drains. This requires time-consuming remedial action and constitutes a major operational inefficiency. The purpose of this project is to collaborate with Fleming College's Centre for Advancement of Water and Wastewater Technologies (CAWT) on the development of a modified wastewater treatment system that will engineer a solution to address foaming. The project will result in a modified, low-maintenance, fully compliant wastewater treatment system that will allow Pie Eyed Monk to remain buoyant within a thriving but competitive market.

Pie Eyed Monk是一家位于安大略林赛的当地拥有和经营的啤酒吧，由一家餐厅和一家生产七种手工啤酒的七桶啤酒屋组成。像所有的酿造设施一样，它的运作产生的废水中含有高浓度的特定受管制物质，这是用蛋白质和碳水化合物酿造的副产品。目前，该企业使用先进的膜过滤处理系统管理废水，该系统经过调整以满足啤酒厂环境的特殊需求。在密集酿造期间，整个系统中出现过度起泡，导致大约5-10%的麦芽汁（转化为啤酒）流失到排水管中。这就需要采取耗时的补救行动，并造成了严重的业务效率低下。该项目的目的是与弗莱明学院的水和废水技术促进中心（CAWT）合作，开发一种改进的废水处理系统，该系统将设计一种解决发泡问题的解决方案。该项目将产生一个经过修改的、低维护的、完全合规的废水处理系统，这将使Pie Eyed Monk在一个繁荣但竞争激烈的市场中保持活力。
