Grant: Applied Research and Development Grants - Level 1
Sir Sandford Fleming College of Applied Arts and Technology
$25,000.00
Microbrewery Wastewater Treatment and Management Solutions
FY 2019-20
Summary
The objective of the proposed project is to determine the ideal wastewater treatment technology for use in anaward-winning microbrewery with two locations in Haliburton County, Ontario. Like all brewing facilities, itsoperations generate a potent variety of wastewater. Currently, the brewery manages its wastewater using arudimentary treatment process to remove settled solids before pumping the remaining water into the sewersystem, where elevated levels of organic compounds can potentially damage municipal sewer infrastructure.Researchers from Fleming College's Centre for Advancement of Water and Wastewater Technologies (CAWT)will undertake a wastewater characterization study and a treatability study to identify a compatible andcost-effective wastewater treatment solution that meets the minimum effluent standards set by Canadianregulatory framework. The establishment of this system will contribute to the brewery's long-termsustainability and mitigate the environmental hazards associated with organic loading in wastewater.
