Analysis of results of integrated pollution prevention and control in breweries and malt industry facilities and the proposal of BREF and BAT technologies.

Abstract

The methodology is presented and results are described of the compilation of requests for granting integrated permission for and subsequent regional office decisions on the implementation of brewery-malt equipment. On this basis a reference document (BREF) pointing out the best techniques of the industry was proposed. Next to emission source values and their limits, the consumption of thermal and electric energy for the production of beer and malt is mentioned and total energy consumption per unit of production is calculated; a similar method was used for computing water consumption as a base for the evaluation of BAT conforming technologies.The methodology is presented and results are described of the compilation of requests for granting integrated permission for and subsequent regional office decisions on the implementation of brewery-malt equipment.
