Decentralized Brewery Wastewater Treatment: Operational Strategies to Meet Discharge Regulations

像博斯纯天然酿造公司这样的啤酒厂通常产生的废水量是啤酒产量的三到十倍。所产生的废水在性质上可能是高度可变和复杂的，这使得废水的处理变得困难。由于各种酿造工艺和清洗周期导致的废水的高度可变性，以及啤酒厂废水中碳含量的总体升高，需要对操作进行修改，以与生产和清洗周期相关联，以满足严格的市政下水道排放限制。本项目拟开发有效运行Beaus生物膜处理系统所需的新信息，有效处理复杂的啤酒厂废水，并将系统的运行与Beaus酿造和清洗周期联系起来，以优化处理的性能和效率。此外，研究还提出了利用先进的显微镜、微生物学和分子方法开发有关啤酒废水处理生物膜的新信息。通过这些先进的分析测试获得的新信息将通过显示应用操作策略对生物膜的稳定性和结构的影响，提供该策略是否可能长期成功的指示。因此，该项目提出的创新成果将为Beaus提供长期运营战略，这是其经济、占地面积小、现代生物膜处理系统所必需的，该系统可提高废物的再利用和回收。进一步的研究将直接定位博斯公司，以满足他们目前的排放法规，并增加他们的啤酒产量

Breweries such as Beaus All Natural Brewing Company conventionally generate three to ten times the volume of wastewater**relative to the volume of beer produced. The generated wastewater can be highly variable and complex in nature, making the**treatment of the wastewater difficult. The high variability of the wastewaters resulting from various brewing processes and cleaning**cycles along with the overall elevated carbonaceous content of brewery wastewaters requires operational modifications to be**linked to production and cleaning cycles in order to meet strict municipal sewer discharge limits. This project proposes to develop**the novel information necessary to efficiently operate Beaus biofilm based treatment system, to effectively treat a complex**brewery wastewater and to link the operation of the system to Beaus brewing and cleaning cycles to optimize performance and**efficiency of treatment. Furthermore, the research proposes to develop new information pertaining to the brewery wastewater**treatment biofilm using advanced microscopy, microbiological and molecular methods. The new information gained via these**advanced analytical tests will provide an indication of whether the strategy will likely be successful long term or not by showing the**effects of the applied operational strategy on the stability and structure of the biofilm. Hence, the proposed innovative findings of**the project will provide Beaus with long term operational strategies that are required for their economical, small land footprint,**modern biofilm treatment system that enhances waste reuse and recovery. Further the research will directly position Beau's to**meet their current discharge regulations and increase their beer production.**
