What are the amount of beer brewing water and how to save water?
As we all know, the manufacturing water of beer equipment consists of cleaning water, brewing water, as well as cooling down water. In international nations, the water intake per lots of beer is much less than 8 tons. In China, the water intake per lots of beer is 15 to 40 tons. Why is this? Allow me present the factors for water usage as well as water conserving approaches in the manufacturing of beer equipment.
According to evaluation, the greater water intake in domestic beer manufacturing might have the complying with 3 factors:
(1) The production equipment is relatively backward, and the washing container, equipment, and pipeline adopt simple washing methods, which have poor washing effect and large water consumption.
In enhancement, the devices format and also pipe format are not totally practical, as well as a reasonably huge quantity of discharge or pipe water is needed, which substantially raises the quantity of released water.
( 2) There are numerous manufacturing facilities that utilize standard approaches for manufacturing procedures, as well as standard approaches have numerous process links. The equipment has a little ability, the variety of transportations or fars away, the components that require to be cleansed throughout procedure as well as the quantity of cleansing water called for each of beer manufacturing are additionally big.
( 3) Not taking notice of water conserving or recycling, which is a typical trouble in some tiny breweries.
Exactly how to lower the manufacturing water intake of beer devices can take into consideration the adhering to 2 elements.
1. Recycling
Recuperation actions are mostly utilized for cooling down water as well as cleaning water. For every single lots of beer created, cooling down water as well as cleaning water make up concerning 80% of the complete water intake. This component of the water is required in the manufacturing procedure due to the fact that a procedure is needed in each procedure.
Virtually everybody requires cleansing or cooling. The recyclable part of this water is fairly huge, consisting of:
(1) Use the prepared water as the front cooling water of the thin plate cooler, and connect the cooling water outlet to the hot water tank, so that cooling can be achieved on the one hand, and on the other hand, the wort heats the brewing water through heat exchange For hot water. It can be used as feed water for saccharification, greatly saving the heat energy required for cooling and heating water.
(2) In the cooling system, a large-capacity pool is established to collect cooling water for recycling. The cooling water of the ammonia compressor and the air compressor can also be collected and recirculated in the same way, which can greatly reduce the consumption of cooling water.
( 3) Collect all the rinse water right into the container washing machine. The BOD and also COD of this component of the water are extremely reduced, and also the pH worth is weakly alkaline (pH 77.8, can be utilized as water to saturate wheat, can additionally be utilized to clean up the flooring. To clean up open trenches and also sewage systems).
(4) The washing water and hop washing water are completely recovered and used as feed water for the next saccharification.
( 5) Using the CIP cleansing equipment, the last cleansing water can be recycled as the initial cleansing water.
(6) Recovery of condensed water in the steam heating device. It can be mixed with process water as mashing water or washing water to reduce water consumption.
2. Cost savings
There are numerous methods to conserve water. Particularly the manufacturing facilities that utilize standard innovation to create beer absence automation as well as automation. The majority of them rely upon hands-on procedures and also commonly make use of much more water. Water conserving primarily depends on right procedure approaches and also significant obligations. There might be:
( 1) The usage of greater water drainage stress as well as much shorter water drainage time can decrease the drain quantity. When cleansing pipelines as well as containers, please lessen the circulation of water to stay clear of avoid wasting the site.
( 2) Strictly manage the complete usage of saccharified water, reasonably arrange the cleaning times and also water quantity of each clean, as well as attempt to prevent even more cleaning water getting in the steaming pot (as a result of time restrictions) or being released right into the drain without reusing. The water material in the saccharification product must suffice, and also the mash needs to not be also slim, so as not to raise the dissipation of the steaming pot.
( 3) To regulate the faucet water time of each beer distribution pipeline as well as filter to attain the function of faucet water and also conserve water.
( 4) When releasing slag, releasing coagulum debris, releasing yeast as well as various ot her waste deposits, please usage devices to release the slag initially, do not make use of cleaning approaches to release the slag, and also restrict using low-grain water. After the slag discharge is finished, you can clean with much less water initially, and afterwards wash once more to conserve cleaning water.
