Project Description:
- This project focuses on designing a continuous beer brewing process that models key steps such as barley drying, mashing, fermentation, and packaging in Aspen Plus. Emphasis is placed on energy integration, resource recovery, and economic feasibility to develop a scalable and environmentally conscious solution.
- Throughout this project, two major proposed alternatives to the standard brewing process were evaluated and modified for implementation: the use of a recycle stream for CO2 capture and reuse, and the use of a recycle stream for thermal energy in the form of water vapor for the conservation of energy and reduction of heat utility.
