On-site pipeline equipment installation

● Core objective: According to the design drawings, technical specifications, and standards, organically connect the equipment and facilities of each water treatment process unit via a piping system to form a complete, sealed, efficient, and reliable fluid delivery network.

● Core Value: Ensure that media such as water flow, chemicals, and sludge are safely conveyed to the designated location with no leaks and low resistance, thereby guaranteeing the continuous and stable operation of the water treatment process.

● Scope of coverage: Includes the installation, hydrostatic testing, thermal insulation, and corrosion protection of all process pipelines, utility pipelines, and their associated components within the plant premises.

● Pipeline Installation Phase: Use laser levels and spirit levels to ensure that pipelines and supports are both horizontally and vertically aligned, thereby meeting the pipeline’s process requirements. Support and hanger installation follows the principle of “install supports first, then pipelines.” The spacing, type, and installation quality of supports and hangers directly affect the stability of the pipeline and its stress distribution.

● Pipeline Connection: Welding Connection: 304L stainless steel pipe. Welding shall be performed according to process requirements. Before welding, the inside of the stainless steel pipe must be purged with argon gas to ensure that the inner surface of the weld is smooth and free of slag.

Multi-media filter

● Core Concepts and Definitions: A multi-media filter, also known as a mechanical filter or sand filter, is a device that uses two or more filtration media with different particle sizes and densities—typically quartz sand—to create a pore gradient that gradually becomes finer from top to bottom. This allows the filter to effectively remove suspended impurities from water through a deep-bed filtration mechanism.

● Main objective: Remove suspended solids, colloidal particles, silt, rust, and turbidity from the water.

● Core function: Serving as the frontline guard for the water treatment system, it protects subsequent, more sophisticated and costly equipment (such as activated carbon filters and reverse osmosis membranes) from contamination and clogging by suspended solids, thereby extending their service life and reducing cleaning frequency.

● High degree of automation: On-site and in the switchgear, PLC-based remote/manual/on-site operation, automatic running, and automatic backwashing are implemented.

Activated carbon filter

● Core Concepts and Definitions: An activated carbon filter is a water treatment device that leverages the enormous specific surface area and strong adsorption capacity of activated carbon to remove dissolved organic substances, residual chlorine, chloramines, color, unusual odors, and other contaminants from water. At the same time, it can also remove some suspended solids through the mechanical interception effect of the filter bed.

● Design Objective: Core Goal: Completely remove residual chlorine and chloramines. This is the primary and most critical task in treating brewing water at breweries.

● Secondary objective: Remove organic matter, color, and odors (such as earthy or musty smells) from the water, thereby improving its sensory characteristics.

● Location: Typically situated after the multi-media filter and before the reverse osmosis unit; Core function: Protect downstream precision equipment; Protecting the RO membrane: Residual chlorine is a “deadly poison” for polyamide composite RO membranes, irreversibly oxidizing and degrading the membrane material, leading to a permanent decline in desalination efficiency. The activated carbon filter is the most cost-effective and efficient “chlorine-removal guardian” for RO systems.

● Automation: Implement PLC-controlled automatic operation, including automatic programs for self-cleaning, backwashing, flushing, and sterilization;

Clean steam generator

● Core Concepts and Definitions: A clean steam generator is a specialized boiler that rapidly vaporizes purified water—such as pure steam water or Water for Injection (WFI)—which meets drinking or injection standards, using indirect heating (typically employing industrial steam generated by a boiler as the heat source). This process produces high-purity steam free of any chemical additives, pyrogens, and particulate impurities.

● Core feature: The steam it produces does not come into contact with the original fuel, and the heating medium is completely physically isolated from the generated steam, thereby ensuring the purity of the steam.

● The purpose of clean steam: To provide steam that is highly pure from physical, chemical, and microbiological perspectives, ensuring that it does not introduce any form of contamination when coming into direct or indirect contact with products, process media, or surfaces of critical equipment.

● Food and Beverage Industry (High Standards)

Brewery: Pasteurization of Brewing Water—Heat treatment of reverse-osmosis permeate or brewing water. Activated Carbon Filter Pasteurization—An alternative to chemical disinfection, eliminating residual chemicals. CIP/SIP for Mashing Equipment, Fermentation Tanks, Clearance Tanks, and Pipeline Valves—In-situ cleaning and in-situ sterilization of critical equipment. Ensuring a sterile environment for filling machines. Dairy Products, Juices, and Health Supplements—For disinfecting pipelines and storage tanks, as well as maintaining a sterile production environment.

Precision filter

● Core Concepts and Definitions: A precision filter, often referred to as a security filter, is a pressure-driven filtration device that uses specially designed micrometer (μm)-grade filter elements (filter bags/melt-blown filter cartridges) to remove tiny particulate matter from liquids via an absolute-precision mechanical sieving principle.

● Core feature: Its filtration accuracy falls between that of conventional multi-media filters and ultrafiltration membranes, typically ranging from 0.45 μm to 10 μm. It can effectively remove trace amounts of suspended solids, colloids, rust, microorganisms (in part), as well as activated carbon powder and resin debris that may have leaked during pretreatment—substances that were not fully removed by the preceding treatment stages.

● Design Purpose: Core Objective: As the final pre-treatment unit in a water treatment system, it provides “absolute” protection for downstream critical equipment. Specific Functions: Protecting the high-pressure pump and reverse-osmosis membranes—preventing particulate matter from scratching the impeller of the high-pressure pump; more importantly, preventing suspended particles from clogging, scratching, or contaminating the ultra-precise RO membrane surface. Ensuring End-User Water Quality: Serving as a pre-filter for UV sterilizers or end-use water points, it guarantees that the water is free of suspended particles, thereby avoiding the “shadow effect” that could compromise UV disinfection efficiency or preventing particles from entering the final product.

Working principle:

● A combination of surface filtration and depth filtration

● Surface Filtration: As the fluid passes through the filter element, particles larger than the pore size of the filter element are directly retained on the surface of the filter element.

● Deep-layer adsorption: The intricate fiber structure inside the filter element, through adsorption and mechanical interception, can also capture smaller particles, creating a deep-layer filtration effect.

Finished Water External Supply Pump Unit

Core Concepts and Definitions:

● The brewing water supply pump is a pumping system that draws water from the brewing water storage tank and delivers it, via a distribution network, to various points of use in the brewing workshop—such as the mash tun, the saccharification kettle, and the CIP station—at a stable pressure and flow rate.

● Core Mission: Ensure stable delivery pressure and sufficient flow rate for the “blood” (brewing water), and absolutely maintain the purity of the water throughout the entire delivery process to prevent secondary contamination.

● System configuration: Typically, this does not refer to a single pump but rather to a complete pumping unit that includes a pump, a frequency converter, piping, valves, instrumentation, and a control system.

Design purpose:

● Stable water supply: Provide brewing water that is continuous, stable, and meets the process requirements for pressure and flow during the brewing process.

● Maintain water quality: Ensure that throughout the entire delivery process—from the water treatment plant to the point of use—the water remains free from contamination by microorganisms, particulate matter, or chemical substances.

● Ensuring Production: As the direct power source for brewing production, its reliability directly affects the continuity and efficiency of the production process.

● Core Requirement: Hygienic Design—A Top Priority. All components that come into contact with water must be made of hygienic-grade materials (such as 304L stainless steel). The surface finish must achieve Ra ≤ 0.8 μm, with no dead corners, allowing for complete drainage and resistance to CIP cleaning.

● High reliability: It must be capable of operating continuously for long periods without failure.

● Stable pressure and flow: Utilizing frequency conversion control to eliminate pressure fluctuations (“water hammer” effect) caused by simultaneous water draw from multiple points, thereby ensuring process repeatability.

Reverse osmosis device

Core Concepts and Positioning:

● The brewing water reverse osmosis unit is the core desalination and purification module of a brewery’s water treatment system. It uses high pressure to drive water flow through a semi-permeable membrane that allows only water molecules to pass through, thereby efficiently removing dissolved salts, ions, organic substances, bacteria, and viruses from the water and producing ultra-pure water with extremely low conductivity.

● A special role in brewing: Its core purpose is not to produce the purest water possible, but rather to provide brewers with a “blank canvas” or “benchmark water” that is single in composition and highly stable. This allows brewers, through subsequent mineral-adjustment systems, to precisely and reproducibly “craft” the ideal water profile required for any given beer style.

Design Purpose and Necessity

Core purpose:

● Thorough desalination: Removes the vast majority (typically >98%) of calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, sulfate, chloride, nitrate, and other ions from the water, thereby eliminating the uncontrolled impact of the source water’s ion profile on beer flavor.

● Removal of impurities: Effectively removes colloids, organic substances, pigments, endotoxins, and microorganisms, ensuring the chemical and microbiological purity of brewing water.

● Provides a foundation for flavor consistency: Regardless of seasonal fluctuations in the quality of the source water, the RO-produced water consistently maintains stable quality, fundamentally ensuring high flavor consistency across different batches of beer.

Necessity:

● Accurately replicating classic styles: To perfectly replicate classic beer styles such as Pilsner, Dortmund, and Munich, it’s essential to start with their signature water quality. RO technology enables inland breweries to easily achieve the same brewing starting point as those in the classic production regions.

● Innovation and Flexibility: Offering limitless possibilities for developing new beer styles, brewers can freely design water formulations without being constrained by geographical limitations.
