United Kingdom<br />

Campden BRI will present <strong>the</strong> results of <strong>the</strong> project to calculate <strong>the</strong> carbon footprint of a brewery in <strong>the</strong><br />

UK. The presentation will discuss in detail:<br />

<strong>the</strong> stages of <strong>the</strong> project: defining <strong>the</strong> boundary of <strong>the</strong> carbon footprint, greenhouse gases<br />

included and identifying <strong>the</strong> sources of <strong>the</strong> emissions needed to be incorporated<br />

<strong>the</strong> methodology used<br />

main data points and findings<br />

conclusions from <strong>the</strong> study and actions for <strong>the</strong> future<br />

Carbon footprinting is presented as <strong>the</strong> first step in managing a brewery's greenhouse gas emissions<br />

and identifying <strong>the</strong> main areas for efficiency improvement. The presentation will highlight how<br />

measuring and analysing a company's emissions proves useful in identifying resource intensive hot<br />

spots across operations and informs reduction strategies.<br />

The presentation will also include a comparison of <strong>the</strong> performance of <strong>the</strong> brewery with data from<br />

o<strong>the</strong>r breweries.<br />

Brewers often aim to reduce <strong>the</strong> use of cleaning agents. This reduction will have a beneficial effect on<br />

<strong>the</strong> footprint only when <strong>the</strong> efficiency is not compromised. In this work we will demonstrate <strong>the</strong><br />

necessity of caustic cleaning steps, correlating empirical data with a fouling model based on specific<br />

molecular interactions. Low level of alkalinity is needed to remove <strong>the</strong> majority of <strong>the</strong> fouling layer. We<br />

explain why higher levels of alkalinity are beneficiary for <strong>the</strong> removal of residual fouling during an<br />

occasional oxidation step. These results show that in order not to lose <strong>the</strong> overall performance, some<br />

levels of caustic are needed. Lowering <strong>the</strong> overall consumption will thus rely on <strong>the</strong> reuse of chemicals.<br />

We will demonstrate two viable strategies. One is stacking of caustic cleaning solutions for beer filters.<br />

The 2nd one is by means of a new hollow fiber NF membrane, capable of clarifying CIP solutions. The<br />

unique hollow fiber geometry allows filtration without any pre-treatment.<br />
