The novelty of this study is to apply Material Flow Analyses (MFAs) for both production line and wastewater treatment processes in a modern-technology beer company with an aim to assess cleaner production opportunities and potentials of the company through different scenarios for each cleaner production measure. As aspect of production line, two energy saving measures were proposed: (1) to reuse water-for-cooling for bottle and keg washing, and  (2) to reuse thermal heat produced during rapid cooling to supply heat for the malt pasting process. The 2nd measure could save 11% of heat needed for malt pasting and 5.5% of steam from boiler that heats keg washing water was reduced in the 1nd solution compared to the case of no heat reuse in loop. Within the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), the study proposed using biogas to generate energy through CHP (combine heat and power) system, of which electrical power is utilized for the WWTP operation and heat is used to maintain the temperature of sludge anaerobic digester (SAD) through a heat exchanger (HE). The results showed that the energy generated from biogas could compensate 16% of the total energy consumption of the WWTP with 43% (corresponding to 1,735 kWh) of electrical energy saving; 11% of heat saving to maintain SAD system

Production Practices

The adoption of Cleaner Production (CP) consists in taking preventive actions of one or more Cleaner Production practices; the most common are the reduction of emissions, efficient use of water, energy, and reuse of waste. This research identified in the literature 31 Cleaner Production practices and, through a survey in multinational textile industries and verified by specialists, was identified and evaluated the level of implementation of each Cleaner Production practices and link them to small, medium and large companies, so, this was the aim of this research. This study used statistical test analysis of variance. The main results were that small companies are motivated to implement Cleaner Production practices solely to reduce costs, and some small companies do not even know the concept of Cleaner Production. Medium-sized companies receive pressures to implement Cleaner Production practices to develop an environmental management system and participate in the competitive exportation market. In addition, ultimately, large companies have levels of implementation of the Cleaner Production practices significantly higher than small- and medium-sized enterprises due to the need to continually invest in their brand to increase market share. Efficient use of water is a Cleaner Production practice adopted by large- and medium-sized companies. These results enable business executives to perform benchmarking using levels of implementation of Cleaner Production practices according to the company size.
