High-Strength Organics, Zero-Chemical Recovery with DeurRR

The Problem: Sugary, Foamy, and Sludge-Heavy Effluent

Breweries generate large volumes of high-strength wastewater primarily from brewing, fermentation, bottling, and cleaning operations. The effluent is rich in sugars, alcohol, yeast, cleaning agents, and suspended solids, making it highly biodegradable—but also highly unstable and foamy, requiring specialized treatment.

Ph
4.0–9.0, fluctuates with fermentation and CIP
Sludge Volume
Very high, sticky and odorous biomass
Oil and Grease
10–50 mg/L - Microbial hindrance
Total Suspended Solids (TSS)
300–8000 mg/L, grain solids increase sludge load
Foaming
High, from proteins and cleaning agents
Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD)
2000–80000 mg/L, sugar and cleaner residues
Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD₅)
1000–60000 mg/L, causes odor and foaming issues
Nitrogen & Phosphorus
30–300 mg/L, eutrophication risk untreated

DeurRR: Eco-Innovation for the Brewing Industry

⚠️ Conventional:
– Anaerobic digestion + polishing

✅ With Deur:
– Rapid, chemical-free oxidation using OH• radicals (ioniX)

⚠️ Conventional:
– Antifoam agents + settling

✅ With Deur:
– Natural collapse via nanobubble flotation and oxidation

⚠️ Conventional:
– Chemical flocculants

✅ With Deur:
– Bio-based coagulation with faster settling (HerbX)

⚠️ Conventional:
– Thick, high-volume sludge

✅ With Deur:
– 30–60% less sludge; easier to handle and dispose

⚠️ Conventional:
– Coagulants, pH adjusters, chlorine

✅ With Deur:
– 100% biodegradable, non-toxic plant-based process

⚠️ Conventional:
– Chlorination or UV

✅ With Deur:
– Natural disinfection through oxidative action, no chemical residues

Results That Brew Confidence

  • COD/BOD Reduction: 60–80% (COD up to 80,000 mg/L)

  • TSS Removal: Up to 90%

  • Foaming & Odor: Significantly controlled

  • Sludge Volume: 30–60% reduction

  • Residual-Free Output: Safe for reuse or discharge without secondary pollution

Brew Clean. Discharge Green.

With DeurRR, breweries can now process their complex wastewater sustainably—without relying on harsh chemicals or generating excessive sludge. Raise a glass to compliance, cost-savings, and circular water use.
