“…Applications of desalination processes are already well-known for producing bottled water for example [22], as well as for producing process water for breweries [23]. A steady water quality can be achieved, implying lower fluctuations of the quality of the products resulting from the fermentation processes.…”

Abstract:Recovering valuable compounds from waste streams of bio-based production processes is in line with the circular economy paradigm, and is achievable by implementing "simple-to-use" and well-established process separation technologies. Such solutions are acceptable from industrial, economic and environmental points of view, implying relatively easy future implementation on pilot-and full-scale levels in the bio-based industry. Reviewing such technologies is therefore the focus here. Considerations about technology readiness level (TRL) and Net Present Value (NPV) are included in the review, since TRL and NPV contribute significantly to the techno-economic evaluation of future and promising process solutions. Based on the present review, a qualitative guideline for resource recovery from bio-based production processes is proposed. Finally, future approaches and perspectives toward identification and implementation of suitable resource recovery units for bio-based production processes are discussed.

“…A n i n c r e a s e i n T M P i s r e q u ired to maintain a particular water flux (constant-flux operation) independently of the membrane type and MWCO. However, an increasing flux could lead to an increase in polarization and fouling, which will limit the permeate flux (Abbasi et al, 2011;Simate et al, 2011). High pressure can also allow membrane compaction, ultimately resulting in the formation of a denser membrane with smaller pores, or one possible enlargement of membrane pores with time, which enables particles to penetrate through the membrane matrix.…”

“…While most large breweries have their own wastewater treatment facilities either to meet municipal by-laws or to reduce the organic load (Simate et al, 2011), it is rare to find micro-breweries operate their own pretreatment system. Some micro-plants have preliminary physical operations to remove coarse solid matter rather than dissolved contaminants.…”

The micro-brewery business has been subjected to rapid growth within the last decade.Most brewers are facing expensive wastewater compliance bills and are seeking reliable on-site treatment methods. Anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) treatment is favorable to the widely used upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) method. It offers high quality effluent free of solids, and has great stabilities under loading shocks. To date, there have been limited submerged AnMBR studies and none have been conducted on brewery wastewater. In this research, a state-of-the-art AnMBR laboratory scale system was used to investigate the performance and capability. The system was subjected to 230 days continuous operation with both synthetic and real brewery wastewater at organic loading rates (OLRs) ranging from 2 to 11.5 kg COD/m 3 /day. While the system demonstrated an excellent biological performance, the study found that the major limitation of AnMBR was the membrane fouling, which increased with the OLR and soluble microbial products (SMPs) in the mixed liquor.iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
