Brewery yeast disposal to WWTP
Brewery yeast disposal to WWTP
(OP)
guys,
Any inputs on the effects of discharging yeast to the wastewater treatment with UASB and aerobic basin. We wont dry anymore the yeast as its not economically feasible presently.

Contact the permitting agency, they will probably give you preliminary limits, upon which you can base your design/discharge proposal.

I am not really concerned about our effluent. My concern is how will the bacteria react with the yeast at the UASB.
Any additional inputs.

RE: Brewery yeast disposal to WWTP
The brewery plant discharges wastes to the wastewater treatment plant including its spent yeast. Previously, it is being dried and sold to buyers. but drying yeast is not economically viable presently. Thus after autolizing the spent yeast, it is directly discharge to the wastewater treatment plant.
Any advise you can give?

Other than the possible issue of BOD/COD loading restraints. I can't see any reason why your spent yeast couldn't be discharged to the WWTP. If it is bacterially degradable, which it certainly is, it should not create a treatment problem.
As I assume you have spoken about this with the WWTP operator, what do they have to say?
