Problems of water supply and waste water disposal in breweries and malt plants.Peer-reviewed article

J. TŮMA

The article describes various ways, in which the problems of water supply and waste water disposal in breweries and malt plants can be solved. There is an ever increasing tendency in breweries to replace well water by chemically purified and treated freely available water from ponds and rivers. As far as waste water is concerned, the difficulties arise mainly at small breweries and malt plants situated in country districts nad therefore not connected to the municipal sewage systems. The technology consists chiefly in biological treatment in special ponds belonging to breweries. Recirculation schemes including cooling water as well as water from technological processes are being introduced on an ever increasing scale.
