I'm starting a 2 - 3.5 BBL nano. Leased the "perfect" commercial space, ex-pizza shop with propane rail, vent hood, replacement air, and fire suppression (although I've already begun to question direct-fire). It's in a busy commercial/residential town center with several restaurants (many of the buildings, including mine, have commercial on the ground level and apartments above).
An abutter expressed concerns over "brewery stench", presenting multiple internet articles about how the brewing process smells like rotten eggs or cow manure (uugh). While the town board doesn't expect that to be the case, they've still asked me to find "an odor reducing element" to incorporate into the system. They also asked me to show examples of functioning craft brewery's solutions to odor management.
I've searched this forum and found only a suggestion to use a condenser stack. I mentioned this option to the town board, but they seemed to prefer an activated carbon filtration system or equiv. Does the condenser significantly reduce vent emissions?
I'm self-financing on a very tight budget, so hiring an engineer to present a study is not an option.
Does anyone know of reference material or articles? Or have any advice??
Thanks in advance
