Agenda Background Reasons to install a centrifuge Centrifuges in brewery process Centrifuge technology. How it works Separation system as a tool to produce various beer styles Q/A © Alfa Laval Slide 4 www.alfalaval.com
Slide 6: Craft Industrial
Craft Industrial Craft Authenticity Uniformity Consistency Genuine Variety Craftsmanship Productivity www.alfalaval.com
Slide 7: Challenges for the growing craft beer market
Challenges for the growing craft beer market Craft beer production can start in a simple way with home brewing and brew pubs Growing the production of craft beer puts a brew master in front of a dilemma: How to keep the genuine quality while increasing productivity? www.alfalaval.com
Slide 8: Challenges for the growing craft beer market
Challenges for the growing craft beer market Growing craft beer production means: • Implement consistency of production and final beer • Deal with multiple beer styles • Keep beer losses under control • Improving shelf-life How centrifuges can contribute to “keeping genuine craft” while improving be
Slide 10: Why use a centrifuge
Why use a centrifuge To clarify beer Reduce sedimentation time in fermentation tanks To remove solid particles: yeast, hops, crushed orange peel etc. To reduce beer losses To replace a trap filter clogging regularly © Alfa Laval Slide 10 www.alfalaval.com
Slide 11: Centrifuge is a great tool for brewers
Centrifuge is a great tool for brewers Increase production capacity with the same number of tanks Offer a more linear beer turbidity, suppressing stratification effects Allow brewers to use new ingredients and provide control of the contact time with beer To control turbidity of beers Coarse solids
Slide 12: Filtration:
Filtration: Alternative or complimentary DE filters Lenticular and other dead-end filters Combinations with centrifuge possible www.alfalaval.com
Slide 13: Challenges of filtration
Challenges of filtration Clogging Pressure loss Health risks Disposal costs DO pick up © Alfa Laval Slide 13 www.alfalaval.com
Slide 15: General Brewing Process Layout
General Brewing Process Layout Lauter Tun Grain Silo Mill Room Mash Tun Whirlpool Brew Kettle Heat Exchanger Fermentation Tank Centrifuge Bright Tank © Alfa Laval Slide 15 www.alfalaval.com
Slide 16: Beer clarification
Beer clarification Quick and efficient removal of yeast, hops and other coarse solids Earlier transfer of the beer • Less time needed for cooling FV and settling of yeast and solids MV Less beer losses. Typically solids are ejected with dryness of 22-23% DM Clarified Beer Defined yeast counts to mat
Slide 17: More yield with the centrifuge
More yield with the centrifuge Without a centrifuge With a centrifuge Beer loss Beer loss 1 HL 2,5 HL Product (beer) Product (beer) ~8% 17,5 HL 19 HL more yield if using a centrifuge Bright beer tank – 20 HL Bright beer tank – 20 HL www.alfalaval.com
Slide 18: Beer polishing & Hazy beer
Beer polishing & Hazy beer Bright to near bright beer styles without filtering Reduces the consumption of potential filter aids FV BBT Controlling proteins and polyphenols in centrifuged beer Clarified Beer Possibility to adjust desired final haze Green Beer Yeast www.alfalaval.com
Slide 20: Separation technology today
Separation technology today Important parameters High separation efficiency Minimum oxygen pick-up Low product losses Low power consumption From art to science © Alfa Laval 20 www.alfalaval.com
Slide 21: Centrifugal separation
Centrifugal separation Accelerated settling 8000-13000 g 4000 – 10000 rpm centrifugal Particle particle liquid continuous centrifugal settling size density density phase acceleration velocity (mm Ø) (kg/m3 ) (kg/m3 ) viscosity (m/s2 ) (m/s) (kg/ms) © Alfa Laval 21 www.alfalaval.com d
Slide 22: Avoid particle micronization is key
Avoid particle micronization is key It’s not a filter. Is it a clarifier or polisher? In fact, it’s a “classifier” Typical particle size distribution in lager beer Reduced flow • less large particles in the beer Increased flow • more large particles in the beer By-pass needed • for some hazy beers I
Slide 24: Minimum beer oxidation
Minimum beer oxidation Less than 5-10 ppb DO pick up between inlet and outlet Different seal arrangements available in the market • Hydro-hermetic seal • Axial Hermetic seal • Double mechanical Seal © Alfa Laval 24 www.alfalaval.com
Slide 25: Design of the separator bowl
Design of the separator bowl The disc stack Separator bowl The disc stack www.alfalaval.com
Slide 27: Beer clarification
Beer clarification Solids removal from liquid phase Watch the video here © Alfa Laval Slide 27 www.alfalaval.com
Slide 29: Complete separation systems
Complete separation systems Centrifuge Process and service liquid modules Control system Motor starter / VFD Skid mounted (or modularized) Options for • Turbidity meter outlet for discharge triggering • Turbidity meter inlet for Inlet flow control • Automatic or Manual by pass • Tank bottom re-dosin
Slide 32: Turbidity discharge triggering
Turbidity discharge triggering For varying feed solids load High outlet turbidity indicate full solids space Discharge triggered before disc stack is blocked QT QT Time © Alfa Laval www.alfalaval.com
Slide 33: Capacity control
Capacity control Capacity control automatically adapts feed rate: to avoid bad separation due to too high feed rate to avoid overfilling Control System the separator with solids FT = Flow Transmitter © Alfa Laval 33 QT = Turbidity Transmitter www.alfalaval.com
Slide 34: By-pass / Blending
By-pass / Blending Features & Benefits • Proportional for defined haze level FV MV • Both yeast and proteins will bypass QT • Defined yeast counts to maturation vessel, which gives consistent maturation Clarified Beer • Can be manual or automated • Bowl speed reduction as alternative Green Beer Yeas
Slide 35: Centrifuge sizing example
Centrifuge sizing example • Size of fermentation vessel: 40 HL • Dry hopping rate: 500 g/hl • Solids concentration: 3,0% v/v • Required flow rate: 20 HL/h General recommendation of size: Brew 80 © Alfa Laval Slide 35 www.alfalaval.com

Slide 37: Return of investment example
Return of investment example • Fermentation vessel: 20 HL Payback point ROI (Capex) • Yearly production: 2000 HL €3000 000 • Suggested flow rate: 5-10 HL/h €2500 000 Brew 20 €2000 000 €1500 000 • Recovery rate for IPAs – €1000 000 Yield increase ~ 7% €500 000 $- • Beer sales: €2,5/L -€500 000 Start
Slide 39: Clarification vs Polishing
Clarification vs Polishing Clarifier type: Polisher type: removal of the bigger particles removes smaller particles > such as yeast or hop particles also reduces the chill haze Slide 39 www.alfalaval.com
Slide 40: For bright and hazy beers
For bright and hazy beers Features & Benefits Polishing - Bright to near bright beer without filtering Degree of polishing defined by inlet flow. The lower the inlet flow, the clearer the beer. Hazy beers using either variable flow rates, variable bowl speed or by bypassing www.alfalaval.com
Slide 41: Centrifuges in breweries
Centrifuges in breweries A centrifuge will contribute to: Clear beer with less or no filtering Quicker tank turn-over Beer recovery Reduced product loss Improved filter performance Controlled haze in the beer www.alfalaval.com
