Paulaner<br />
brewery<br />
Environmentally friendly<br />
wastewater treatment<br />
The Paulaner brewery is one of the bestknown<br />
German breweries, with a long<br />
tradition of the f<strong>in</strong>est Munich art of brew<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
The annual production exceeds 2 million<br />
hectoliters. The popularity of Paulaner beer<br />
has always extended beyond the city limits of<br />
Munich, both nationally <strong>and</strong> <strong>in</strong>ternationally.<br />
Paulaner beer is enjoyed <strong>in</strong> more than 70<br />
countries worldwide.<br />
The challenge<br />
Due to the <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g popularity<br />
of Paulaner beer the exist<strong>in</strong>g<br />
production site Nockherberg<br />
<strong>in</strong> the center of Munich<br />
reached its limits. In order<br />
to secure ample capacities<br />
for future growth, Paulaner<br />
decided to move the production<br />
to Munich-Langwied. The new<br />
site has sufficient space as well as<br />
excellent connections to the highway.<br />
The new brewery had to be built with an<br />
emphasis on modern <strong>and</strong> environmentally<br />
friendly brewery technology as well as an<br />
energy <strong>and</strong> emission-optimized <strong>in</strong>frastructure.<br />
The solution<br />
The beer production process generates<br />
organically loaded wastewater streams which<br />
are easily biodegradable. With conventional<br />
biological treatment, biological degradation is<br />
achieved by us<strong>in</strong>g aerobic organisms. These,<br />
however, need to be fed with oxygen, result<strong>in</strong>g<br />
<strong>in</strong> high operat<strong>in</strong>g costs <strong>and</strong> CO 2<br />
emissions.<br />
Paulaner selected an environmentally friendly<br />
anaerobic treatment. The degradation<br />
process does not need oxygen, so the energy<br />
consumption is considerably reduced. Another<br />
advantage is the production of energy-rich<br />
biogas, which can be used on site <strong>in</strong> the boiler<br />
house.<br />
To ensure a high level of operational<br />
reliability for their future<br />
wastewater treatment, Paulaner<br />
chose the proven Biobed® system<br />
supplied by Aquantis, a German<br />
subsidiary of the lead<strong>in</strong>g Veolia<br />
Water Technologies group. <br />
