도전 과제
Brewing exceptional beer is difficult enough, never mind having to deal with the intricacies of wastewater operations and discharge compliance. As one of the largest brewers planned for expansion and business growth, it also had to deal with the complications of increasing treatment capacity and effluent quality to match the output from the brewing process, cleaning operations, pasteurization, and utilities. Specific concerns addressed in Gradiant’s solution included high levels of organic constituents, variable flow rates, and increasingly stringent regulatory standards. Finally, given capital budget constraints, it was paramount to find an adaptable and reliable solution that would allow cost-effective operations for expansion.
솔루션
To treat the plant wastewater’s complex composition and fluctuating quality, Gradiant created a flowsheet that integrated a series of BioInfinity technologies to reduce the organic content, which included sugars, proteins, and yeast. Varying pH, temperature, and flow rates, coupled with contaminants from cleaning agents and sanitizers, also demanded an adaptable design approach capable of handling the dynamic needs of the wastewater system.
Gradiant integrated several components from our BioInfinity portfolio to accommodate the high organic loading of this wastewater (~13,000 kg/day COD and 6,000 kg/day BOD). The initial treatment step included BioConvert UASB, a high-rate anaerobic treatment process used to remove the bulk of the organic load from the plant. Biogas generated from this process is then captured, stripped, dehumidified, and used for boiler operations, providing a cost-effective, renewable energy source.
Gradiant’s MBR technology effectively polishes this treated effluent to meet regulatory requirements and become a water source for possible reuse in utilities and other non-potable applications.
혜택
Gradiant’s solution was unique – it ensured discharge compliance (specifically BOD and COD) and delivered a high quality effluent for reuse with little to no additional treatment. Informed decisions during the design, construction, and commissioning phases enabled the plant to start up without significant issues and immediately delivered effluent to the required quality for discharge.
The technology selections for this client also offered lower CAPEX and OPEX costs to conventional processes, mainly because BioConvert UASB uses far less energy than aerobic systems since it does not require aeration to remove organics. Also, BioConvert handles process variability well while removing the majority of BOD and COD. Gradiant’s MBR design provides a high-quality effluent that can be directly reused as cooling tower makeup or treated further for higher purity applications, such as boiler feedwater.
