Brewery reuse system consists of a Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) and Reverse Osmosis (RO) system. The brewery produces high strength wastewater with COD > 8,000mg/L. An anaerobic digester ahead of the MBR, produces gas for heat and power generation. The wastewater then goes to the MBR and RO producing high-quality water that is suitable for reuse in brewery operations. The RO reject is combined with a portion of the MBR permeate to manage total TDS concentrations so it can be discharged to the sewer.

The MBR configuration has proven to be optimal for treatment of many industrial wastewaters when treatment efficiency is an important consideration.
The MBR is the ideal bioreactor configuration for treatment of organic or inorganic contaminants present in industrial wastewaters. MBRs operate at a higher efficiency while achieving consistent design performance objectives. This makes MBR a more cost effective method of treatment when performance and tank requirements are considered.
Bioreactor systems such as the conventional activated sludge system, sequencing batch reactor system and trickling filters are typically designed for operation at a lower volumetric removal rate, requiring larger tanks and more space. These conventional systems often experience upsets that inhibit settling and therefore require much more operator attention than a membrane bioreactor.
The MBR has proven to be optimal for treatment of many industrial wastewaters because it is less susceptible to upsets. The MBR’s performance is not affected by changes in sludge settleability like the conventional systems, making MBR a wise choice for industrial systems that have more difficult to treat waste streams. Dynatec has over 42 years experience in dealing with difficult to treat industrial wastewaters using membrane filtration.
