When we dump yeast, we have to waste a lot of water to get it down the drain. Our sewer bill is based on our water usage, so we'd like to get it down to a minimum.
We have an underground settling/mixing tank not too far from the ferm hall. The boss wants me to build a pipeline to carry the yeast slurry directly to the settling tank. The problem is, the line would have to go over an 8' high door to get there. This would mean lifting the yeast about 6' above the bottom of the ferms, preferably using CO2 pressure. With the ferm pressure limited to 15 psi, do you all think this is plausible, using 2" pipe, about 20 feet in length, with 3 90* elbows?
Anyone tried something like this?
