Case Studies
Winery’s new wastewater treatment solution exceeds expectations
A two-step EcoVolt Solution consistently removes >99.9% of the BOD in the winery's wastewater.
Water Audit Expands Reuse Opportunities at Brewery
A partnership demonstrates how breweries and other industrial operations can decrease water consumption from onsite process water treatment and reuse strategies.
White Papers
Brewery Water and Process Water Management
It is no surprise that craft brewers, consistent innovators in both product and process, are tackling input water and spent process water management challenges head on, implementing water conservation programs and investing in sustainable process water treatment technologies. Learn about the various technologies available to breweries and, more specifically, about the opportunity associated with anaerobic treatment technologies such as the EcoVolt Reactor.
Taking the Waste Out of Wastewater
The case for water reuse is clear, both economically and environmentally. A well-managed water reuse project using Cambrian’s distributed, modular, and automated architecture can dramatically reduce costs. By turning to water reuse, companies can expand their production capacity and boost revenue streams without exceeding their consumption ceiling.
Optimizing Brewery Wastewater and Spent Grain Management
Learn about the significant economic and environmental value, in the form of clean water and clean energy, embedded in the solid and soluble waste from the brewing process. With water security declining and the cost of waste disposal rising, the intrinsic value in wastewater will pave a path forward for long-term and stable growth.
Scientific Literature
Microbial Fuel Cells – Background
"Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) represent a completely new method of renewable energy recovery: the direct conversion of organic matter to electricity using bacteria."
Electromicrobiology
Electromicrobiology is a new research discipline that seeks to understand the transmission of electrical signaling structures between microbes and how they can be leveraged in clean technology systems
