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 />

Key Figures<br />

• Wastewater volume:<br />

2,800 m³/d<br />

• Load:<br />

23,500 kg COD/d<br />

• Biogas production:<br />

385 Nm³/h
