Industry: Hospitality
BACKGROUND
Brew Dog are an internationally established company, committed to sustainable brewing practices and batching quality beer to sell to market. Since beer is 90% water, it is natural that the quality and composition of the water will have a dramatic impact on the beer’s flavour.
There are three elements of water that will affect the taste of the beer: mineral composition, pH, and alkalinity. The water’s hardness and mineral make-up will impart flavour and influence the fermentation process. The pH encourages enzymatic action in the mix and cultivates the proliferation of yeast during the fermentation stage. Alkalinity creates a buffer to protect the pH from fluctuation throughout the brewing process, making sure bacteria is unable to grow and stripping excess tannic acid from the beer. These three factors are intimately linked and work in tandem to guide the taste and colour of beer production.
Thus Brew Dog wanted a water treatment system that was affordable and easy to install and operate. Our Reverse Osmosis water treatment system appealed because it’s a proven technology to produce high yielding water for beer production and delivering consistent results.
THE RWTS SOLUTION
REVERSE OSMOSIS WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM
Remote Water Treatment Service designed and constructed a purpose built reverse osmosis water treatment facility with a disinfection process to produce high yielding water for beer production. We also designed and engineered a trade waste facility to conform to strict council regulations on discharge limits imposed. Both systems were electrically and mechanically installed by our inhouse fabrication team. In addition, all functional coding and engineering design software was conducted inhouse using our Allen Bradley platform. To ensure quality assurance our systems were functionally tested onsite and handed over to our client successfully.
Results:
Customised quality working equipment for even better tasting beer whilst environmentally discharging to trade waste ensuring all project deliverables were met.
Quality water for beer production and waste water treatment facility achieving council release targets.
Seamless automation and programming to ensure equipment is easy to operate and maintain, and not fail when the placed under full demand.
