Modified ADM1 for high-rate anaerobic co-digestion of thermally pre-treated brewery surplus yeast wastewater

Co-digestion of surplus yeast with brewery wastewater is a potentially economical method for recovering energy, in the form of biogas, from this difficult to dispose of by-product. In this work a modified version of the ADM1 (Anaerobic Digestion Model No. 1) was calibrated for an anaerobic digester fed with thermally pre-treated brewery yeast surplus wastewater. The model could predict ...

Anaerobic membrane bioreactor for high-strength wastewater treatment: batch and continuous operation comparison

The anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) is a recent development in high-rate anaerobic bioreactors. This study assessed the treatment of high-strength wastewater by an AnMBR using batch and continuous feeding operation. The results showed that the AnMBR could establish a biomass concentration of 6–8 g/L in approximately 20 days due to retention of micro-organisms by the membrane, ...

Heavy metal resistant anaerobic bacterial strains from brewery digester sludge

This work focused on the study of the types of heavy–metal–resistant anaerobic bacteria from the sludge of a brewery wastewater treatment plant exposed to high concentrations of dissolved Cd (II), Cu (II) and Zn (II). Characterisations were carried out by polymerase chain reaction of the 16S rRNA gene of bacterial strain. Using special culture media, two types of strong heavy metal–resistant ...

Beer Breaks Barriers in Public Perception of Wastewater Recycling

Medium-scale wastewater reuse is a perfect fit for beverage bottlers, but can beer break the ice with the public? Why would a craft beer brewery emphasize that it’s made of recycled wastewater? It might seem counterintuitive, but many hope the strategy is effective at opening people up to the idea of drinking purified recycled wastewater — so much so that local governments and ...
