Russian engineers have learned to treat brewery wastewater without chemicals

A Roselektronika system destroys pathogens in brewery and laboratory waste using steam at 158°C

The Roselektronika holding company has developed a continuous wastewater disinfection system that will be useful not only in medical institutions and laboratories, but also at food production facilities, including breweries and yeast enterprises.

Do you know how much organic matter and nitrogen-containing compounds enter wastewater during the production of the most ordinary beer? Yeast, fermentation products, suspended solids, ammonia compounds. Without effective treatment, such effluents become a significant environmental risk factor.

The new unit operates continuously: disinfection is carried out with steam at a temperature of 158 °C and a pressure of 6 bar. This destroys pathogens without the use of chemical reagents and without generating toxic secondary waste.

The system is automated, manufactured for a specific site, and can be integrated into existing treatment facilities without stopping production. A closed heat-exchange loop makes it possible to save up to 30% of steam.
