A Cost Effective Solution for the Treatment and Recovery of Pot Ale

麦芽酒是威士忌工业的主要副产品。估计年产量超过50亿公升。长期以来，处理一直是个问题，因为罐装啤酒是高度酸性的，具有高COD/BOD，并且被铜污染。虽然市场领导者在污水处理和能源回收技术方面投入了大量资金，但中小型酿酒厂却落后了，因为它们无法实现同样的规模经济。Brathadair正在开发一种工艺，以满足中小型酿酒厂的需求，为锅酒提供具有成本效益的处理方案。

Pot ale is the main effluent by-product of the whisky industry. Estimated production is in excess of 5 billion litres per annum. Disposal has long been problematic as pot ale is highly acidic, has high COD/BOD and is contaminated with copper. Whilst market leaders have invested heavily in effluent treatment and energy recovery technologies, small and medium sized distillers have lagged behind as they are unable to achieve the same economies of scale.Brathadair is developing a process which addresses the needs of small and medium distilleries to deliver a cost effective treatment regime for pot ale.
