Breweries & Distilleries
High BOD, COD, and nutrient-rich effluents are unavoidable in brewing and distillation. The challenge is not disposal, but recovering water, energy, and compliance from every batch.
Why Water & Wastewater Solutions Matter in Breweries & Distilleries
- High Water Intensity – Up to 5–7 liters of water are consumed for every liter of product.
- Complex Wastewater – Effluents with high BOD, COD, sugars, alcohol, and cleaning agents.
- Stringent Discharge Norms – Regulations for COD, TSS, and nutrient levels are tightening.
- Resource Loss – Valuable water and energy lost without recovery systems.
- Operational Risk – Poor effluent management can cause odor, compliance failures, and higher Opex.
