Summary: Box Coverts Beer Waste To Bio-Gas
Box Coverts Beer Waste to Bio-Gas

Cambrian Innovation has now come up with ways to easily convert beer waste into bio-gas, which can be used to power large scale factories, businesses, and even schools by using less energy. Matthew Silver, CEO of Cambrian Innovation studied bioelectric systems that could potentially be used to manage water in space, in doing so he saw a great opportunity to develop a certain microbe that could clean the industry’s water and make it reusable time after time. While under a NASA grant, Matthew Silver was able to prove that electrochemically active microbes could clean water and convert it into a bio-gas that could be used as an alternative to fossil fuels. The Bear Republic Brewery has already put this in to

    New Belgium Brewing

    NBB try to reduce negative impact on environment by using cost-efficient energy-saving alternatives. NBB invests in a wind turbine, making it the first fully wind powered brewery in the United States. NBB has also used a steam condenser that captures and reuses hot water used for boiling barley and hops in the production process to start the next brew. The steam is redirected to heat the floor tiles and de-ice the loading docks in cold weather. NBB also purchased an energy efficient brew kettle that conserves energy more than standard kettles. NBB also use sun tubes which provide natural daytime lighting throughout the brew house all year long. NBB use complex system to capture its waste water and extract methane from it.…

    Blooms Taxonomy

    Throughout the past few decades sources of renewable energy have been widely discussed due to the harmful impacts fossil fuels have on the environment combined with fluctuating petroleum prices and our growing demand for an ever depleting resource (Fletcher et al. 2011). Over the coming decades it is predicted that there will be an increase in the use of bioenergy systems (McBride et al. 2011). Bioenergy is commonly believed by both policy makers and environmentalists to be one of the…

    Renewable Energy

    In recent decades, there has been an increased need to produce sufficient renewable energy to support global population growth. In response, it has become crucial to find socially responsible sustainable energy resources that offer energy security, reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and do not compromise biodiversity or sustainability of existing resources. Despite efforts to reduce the amount of waste produced, a continually growing population limits the space available in landfills. Municipal and industrial waste biomass is often rich in organic matter, allowing for the creation and use of biofuels as an energy source. This organic matter can be used to synthesize ethanol, methanol, and biodiesel through the conversion of inorganic compounds into energy-producing organic carbon compounds. Moreover, unlike fossil fuels, which take millions of years to form, these organic carbon compounds are formed relatively quickly. Biofuel production from waste is beneficial as it allows for better management of landfill sites, and energy production from materials which typically cannot be recycled or composted. Most importantly, it allows for the reduction of significant amounts of methane produced from landfill gas emissions.…

    Osmosis: Safe Drinking Water

    Water is one of the many things that all human being need in order to survive. Considering the vast amount of water that is on the planet, it is reasonable to believe that there is more than enough water for everyone to have their fair share and more. Yet this sadly is not the case, as the majority of the water on Earth is unsuitable to drink due to the fact that it is tainted with a numerous amount of contaminants, such as bacteria and salt. The amount of safe drinking water is decreasing more and more each year and will soon become one of the more scarce resources on the planet. Over the years, many different people all over the world have tried to create and refine a water purification process that is both effective and efficient. The…

    New Belgium Brewery Case Study

    In relation to water usage, the average brewery uses five gallons of water just to produce one gallon of beer. NBB ratio is only 3:8:1 (Carroll, pg. 690). Their wastewater is then treated, and the process creates methane, which is captured and used to cogenerate power for the brewery. The ethical factor here is that even though they are trying to reduce waste and pollution in the short and long term, they cannot help but to create it during their production of beer regardless of how hard they…

    Technological factors of the beer industry

    The technology to brew beer in the comfort or your own home certainly would grab a lot of people’s attention, and that’s exactly what Bill Mitchell and his partner Avi Geiger have done. They’ve created a device that’s about the size of a large microwave to brew beer called the PicoBrew Zymatic. The PicoBrew Zymatic has also been created to connect to the internet so that consumers can share recipes as well as see the beer progress live on their cellphone. This is a potential threat to the beer industry because will seek the newer and different way to get beer. This machine would cater to a specific niche market of people who prefer to make things themselves (ex. people who make their own wine). Beer companies need to be weary of this kind of technology because other inventions can be created and people can go from being interested in already made bottles of beer to just wanting to buy the wheat to make the beer. This would impact the industry because there’s now the possibility that the new future of beer is no longer sold in bottles but just the wheat itself. Beer companies will need to grow with the market and…

    The Continuous Brewing of Beer

    The Continuous Brewing of Beer

    Beer is produced commercially by the controlled fermentation of wort, a liquid rich in sugars, nitrogenous compounds, sulphur compounds and trace elements extracted from malted barley. Fermentation is the process by which glucose is converted to ethanol and carbon dioxide and is expressed chemically as: C6H12O6 + 2PO43- + 2ADP → 2C2H5OH + 2CO2 + 2ATP Behind this simplified chemical reaction is a series of complex biochemical reactions. These reactions (known as the ‘Glycolytic pathway’ or ‘Embden-Myerhof-Parnas pathway’) involve a number of enzymes and the reactions take place anaerobically inside the cells of brewing yeast. DB Breweries carry out this fermentation by a continuous process in which the beer moves through a series of stirred vessels for a period of 40 to 120 hours. After the ethanol has formed the beer is transferred to maturation vessels the flavour is naturally refined. Following this the product is developed into a variety of different brands. Breweries across the world generally use the system of batch fermentation to produce beer, it is the writer’s belief that at this time, only DB Breweries in New Zealand is successfully using continuous fermentation to produce full strength beers. INTRODUCTION Brewing has been mentioned in history as early as Egyptian times and has continued on to the present day with relatively few changes to the basic recipe. Malted barley is the main ingredient, which, when milled and heated in water to extract its nutrients, provides a nourishing sugar- and protein-rich solution named wort (pronounced wert), an ideal medium in which yeast may grow and ferment. In comparatively recent times hops were added to the boiling wort as it was discovered that hops had anti-bacterial properties which preserved the wort and fermented beer and which gave the beer a refreshing bitter taste. For many years the only known method of fermenting beer was a slow batch fermentation process carried out in a…

    Biomass Gasification - a Review of Technologies

    Gasification (in the context of this paper) is an energy process that produces a gas which can be used to substitute fossil fuels. It is a process which enhances biomass' usefulness as a renewable resource as the product gas (syngas) can easily be transported along existing gas pipelines, and can either be mixed with, or used as a replacement for natural gas combustion in gas turbines for power and heat generation. Syngas gas can also be used converted to various chemicals such as ethanol, hydrogen, methanol and Fischer-Tropsch fuels. There are currently various technologies for the gasification of biomass, and a review was conducted on the different technologies involved in the overall biomass gasification process.…
