Home > Impact > Funded Projects > Crafting Sustainable Solutions: Innovating Membranes for Beer Filtration and Water Treatment and Reuse in Breweries
Breweries face critical challenges in wastewater management, water reuse, and beer filtration. This project aims to develop an innovative solution to these challenges, leveraging advanced microfiltration and ultrafiltration technologies. The approach integrates pleated and hollow fiber membrane modules to effectively remove particulates, microorganisms, and impurities from liquid streams. Advantages of these advanced membrane technologies include superior contaminant removal, energy efficiency, enhanced water reuse, and improved beer filtration. This project aims to de-risk, optimize, and scale up Flexcim's membrane manufacturing processes.
The project focuses on the development and implementation of novel flat-sheet and hollow fiber membranes for beer filtration and wastewater treatment in a brewery application. Beyond breweries, the scalability and versatility of the technology extend it’s potential to various industries requiring efficient filtration and water treatment solutions. From food and beverage to pharmaceuticals and beyond, these membranes offer versatile and adaptable solutions for diverse filtration needs.
