“…The amendments also contained considerable amount of micronutrients. This was in line with the findings of Kanagachandran and Jayaratne (2006); he reported that dry brewery sludge had appreciable quantities of nutrients like N (4.5 %), P (3.3 %), K (0.2 %), Mn (46 mg kg -1 ), Zn (75 mg kg -1 ) and Cu (42 mg kg -1 ).…”

“…Shepherd 14 reported that the consumption of water by brewing industry is almost 10 L per 1 L of beer, which is double the figure reported in the study by Fillaudeau et al 6 An efficient brewery should use between 4 L and 7 L of water to produce 1 L of beer. 43 Kanagachandran 44 estimated that about 3-10 L of effluent is produced per 1 L of beer produced in breweries. These figures stress the importance of reducing effluent volumes in the industry and also imply that the quantity of generated brewery effluent will depend on http://www.sajs.co.za…”

Water is a scarce resource in many parts of the world; consequently the application of innovative strategies to treat wastewater for reuse is a priority. The brewery industry is one of the largest industrial users of water, but its effluent is characterised by high levels of organic contaminants which require remediation before reuse. Various conventional treatment methods such as anaerobic and aerobic systems, which are effective options because of their high removal efficiencies, are discussed in this study. Other methods such as membrane based technologies, carbon nanotubes, activated carbon, electrochemical methods, algal ponds and constructed wetlands are also analysed. Their efficiency as well as advantages and disadvantages are highlighted and evaluated. Combinations of various treatment processes to improve the quality of the final effluent are discussed.

This study reports the residual effect of Ama Brewery effluent sludge discharge on the soil quality of the recipient soil environment in Amaeke Ngwo Community of Udi Local Government Area of Enugu State Nigeria. Samples were collected in triplicates in two sites, control and test sites and analyzed the physical and chemical properties of the soils. The result of analysis showed that some soil chemistry parameters such as phosphorus, calcium, potassium, magnesium, organic matter, organic carbon, cation exchange capacity and exchangeable bases occurred at higher levels of concentration in the test soil site than the control site. This study therefore indicates that the Ama Brewery sludge effluent has not impacted on the soil quality of the test site adversely but has improved it for agricultural purposes. The distribution of the measured soil chemistry parameters is such that the top soil contains the highest concentration. The study also revealed that the movement and distributions of these parameters down the soil profile could be modeled via predictive models that would however require to be validated with data from other field studies.
