Book excerpt: Breweries in the United States spend annually over $200 Million on energy. Energy consumption is equal to 3-8% of the production costs of beer, making energy efficiency improvement an important way to reduce costs, especially in times of high energy price volatility. After a summary of the beer making process and energy use, we examine energy efficiency opportunities available for breweries. We provide specific primary energy savings for each energy efficiency measure based on case studies that have implemented the measures, as well as references to technical literature. If available, we have also listed typical payback periods. Our findings suggest that there may still be opportunities to reduce energy consumption cost-effectively for breweries. Major brewing companies have and will continue to spend capital on cost effective measures that do not impact the quality of the beer. Further research on the economics of the measures, as well as their applicability to different brewing practices, is needed to assess implementation of selected technologies at individual breweries.
Download or read book Potential for Industrial Energy Efficiency Improvement in the Long Term written by J. de Beer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2000-05-31 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We need to know what opportunities there are and what limits exist to the improvement of energy efficiency, since this is the most cost-effective way to abate greenhouse gas emissions. This book presents a method whereby promising technologies can be identified and characterised that can contribute to an improvement of energy efficiency in the long term. An objective measurement of maximum improvement is provided by an analysis of the theoretical minimum specific energy demand. A descriptive inventory is then given of new and conceivable technologies that can improve efficiency, extending beyond the standard lists found in the literature. The method is applied to three main energy consuming branches of industry: paper and board, iron and steel, and nitrogen fertilizer. Each of the studies provides an in-depth analysis of the industry and an extensive survey of options for its improvement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As with other manufacturing processes, the resource efficiency of the beer brewingprocess is subject to economies of scale. Given the continued growth in the number of smallUS breweries and the volume of beer they produce, there is an increasing imperative toadvance energy and water efficiency initiatives that pertain to small breweries. The applicationof both material and energy flow analysis and lifecycle analysis to the brewing process arereviewed. Best practices for the water and energy efficiency of small brewers are presented,along with opportunities for waste stream valorization. Barriers to water and energy efficiencyat small breweries are also considered. Taken as a group, large brewers have made steady reductions in both specific water andenergy consumption since 1990, although further improvements are becoming more difficult toachieve. Meanwhile, small brewers have made only slight gains in specific resourceconsumption. The net effect has been a recent minimum of 181.2 MJ per barrel (bbl) specificenergy consumption in 2016. It climbed to 181.9 MJ/bbl in 2017, as small brewers havecontinued to account for a growing share of the US beer market. Whole-industry specific water consumption dropped to 4.07 bbl/bbl in 2017, and will soon reach a minimum as well if current trends continue. A water and energy assessment of a Northern California microbrewery identifiedprocess areas where water and heat are embedded in the product, where these resourcesoverlap, and how the measured resource use compared to other small US breweries. For every barrel of beer packaged in the first half of 2018, the case study brewery consumed 183.7 MJ electricity, 489.4 MJ thermal energy, 12.8 bbl water, and discharged 10.8 bbl wastewater. Considered altogether, the facility paid $26.95 per bbl packaged beer for utilities during this period, compared with an estimated $16.01 for similar-sized US breweries. These additional costs are partly due to higher utility unit costs – an artifact of brewery location – and partly to inefficient brewhouse processes. As utility costs typically account for 3 – 8% of brewery operating costs, resource efficiency initiatives can make a significant difference to profit margins. The largest water demands in the first half of 2018 were for product water treated by reverse osmosis (6.054 bbl/bbl, of which 1.426 bbl/bbl is rejected to the drain), the cellar and packaging area (2.123 bbl/bbl), and general use in the main brewhouse (1.921 bbl/bbl). Energy demands were greatest for steam generation (361.1 MJ/bbl, of which 66.45 MJ/bbl was lost to system leaks), cold storage (72.97 MJ/bbl), and glycol chilling (44.28 MJ/bbl). These areas of high water or high energy demand are the best targets for further efficiency research at the facility. Certain of the energy is embedded into water – in the “beer-water-energy nexus” – whereby utility costs become stacked. Resource use efficiency and costs can therefore be synergistically improved by targeting areas of overlap. The water and energy assessment establishes a framework for other small brewers tofollow within their own facilities. Specific resource consumption trends are identified for thecase study brewery over the course of two and half years. Water consumption and wastewater discharge at the facility are on notable downward trends since 2016. Electrical and thermal energy costs experience consistent seasonal peaks. Purchased carbon dioxide is dropping towards levels seen by peer facilities as the brewery addresses high consumption levels. Wastewater effluent quality is also measured, and wastewater treatment considerations are discussed. Both aerobic and anaerobic wastewater treatment solutions are possible for small brewers, but may depend on public-private partnership or some other means of allaying costs. As with the other best practices reviewed here, wastewater treatment solutions must be evaluated for their fit within the context of a given brewery.
Download or read book Intensification of Biobased Processes written by Andrzej Górak and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 2018-06-18 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years bioprocessing has increased in popularity and importance, however, bioprocessing still poses various important techno-economic and environmental challenges, such as product yields, excessive energy consumption for separations in highly watery systems, batch operation or the downstream processing bottlenecks in the production of biopharmaceutical products. Many of those challenges can be addressed by application of different process intensification technologies discussed in the present book. The first book dedicated entirely to this area, Intensification of Biobased Processes provides a comprehensive overview of modern process intensification technologies used in bioprocessing. The book focusses on four different categories of biobased products: bio-fuels and platform chemicals; cosmeceuticals; food products; and polymers and advanced materials. It will cover various intensification aspects of the processes concerned, including (bio)reactor intensification; intensification of separation, recovery and formulation operations; and process integration. This is an invaluable source of information for researchers and industrialists working in chemical engineering, biotechnology and process engineering.

Book excerpt: The production of beer today occurs within a bifurcated industrial structure. There exists a small number of large, global conglomerates supplying huge volumes of a limited range of beers, and a plethora of small and medium breweries producing a diverse range of beers sold under unique brands. Brewing, Beer and Pubs addresses a range of contemporary issues and challenges in this key sector of the global economy, and includes contributions by research specialists from a variety of countries and disciplines. This book includes the marketing and globalization of the brewing industry, beer excise duties and market concentration, and reflections upon developments in brewing and beer consumption across the world in order to explore the wide-reaching influence of this industry. Alongside these global topics more localised themes are presented such as market integration in the Chinese beer and wine markets, beer and brewing in Africa and South America, and turbulence and change in the UK public house industry, which demonstrate how the consumption of beer in pubs and other social environments make the beer industry integral to local communities and regions worldwide.
