Hello all,
Applying for Michigan DEQ permit for groundwater discharge of brewery water. We're sidestreaming and screening out large solids, and our brewing and cleaning water is entirely separate from the rest of the building's septic system. Can anyone offer average ranges for BOD, nitrogen, phosphorus, etc.? We're brewing at a small scale (2 bbls), but as we're not in production yet, we can't very well sample our brewery effluent. We have a holding tank large enough to hold brewing water and CIP water at once. and would be pumping it out and hauling it to a farm once a week or so. The DEQ has a winery-specific application they've asked us to fill out, but I suspect our waste water will be different enough to try to get more specific to brewery water.
The analysis they want is:
BOD
Ammonia Nitrogen (NH3 - N)
Nitrate Nitrogen (NO3- - N)
Nitrite Nitrogen (NO2- - N)
pH
Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen
Total Phosphorus
Sodium
Chloride
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
