Brewery De Proefbrouwerij boosts its wastewater treatment with airlift membrane technology and granular sludge development, supported by Pantarein Water.
Founded in 1996, De Proefbrouwerij brews beers for third parties, ranging from craft startups to global brands. To ensure flexibility and quality, the brewery continuously upgrades its processes — including the care for its wastewater.
Originally, the wastewater was treated with two parallel low-load SBR bioreactors. In 2018, the treatment plant was upgraded:
The airlift technology ensures high energy efficiency and compact footprint, supporting the brewery’s sustainability goals.
The biological treatment still runs discontinuously, promoting the formation of granular activated sludge and enabling maximum biological phosphorus removal.
