Universal Tankers offers a comprehensive range of brewery waste removal services, including scheduled, emergency, or one-off removal and disposal of wastewater, spent grains, Kieselguhr sludge, and yeast surplus. Our expertise extends to drain jetting that will keep your drainage systems clear and functional, and thorough cleaning and maintenance of pump chambers to prevent operational disruptions.
Our services are designed to be flexible and responsive to meet the diverse needs of breweries with efficiency and professionalism, and help your operations run smoothly in compliance with environmental law and industry regulations.
Yeast surplus is the excess yeast biomass generated during the fermentation process in breweries and distilleries. This yeast is rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals, making it potentially valuable. At the same time, the volume and potential environmental impact can make it challenging to manage.
Accumulated yeast surplus can cause blockages in your drainage system, leading to operational disruptions and increased maintenance costs. Over time, these blockages can result in more severe infrastructure damage that requires costly repairs and can halt production in extreme cases. At the same time, the UK has stringent environmental regulations regarding waste disposal, and failing to manage yeast surplus in accordance with the law can result in hefty fines and legal repercussions. To avoid any negative impact on your business's reputation and financial stability, work with the professionals at Universal Tankers to manage yeast surplus disposal.
Kieselguhr sludge, a by-product of the filtration process in breweries and distilleries, can pose significant disposal challenges. The filtration process generates substantial volumes of kieselguhr sludge, and this presents storage challenges due to the space required and the need to prevent leakage or spillage that could contaminate the environment.
Improper disposal of kieselguhr sludge can lead to soil and water contamination, as the silica content, while not hazardous, can carry organic pollutants and residual chemicals from the brewing process. In turn, this may harm aquatic life, disrupt ecosystems, and pose health risks to humans and animals, all of which can result in hefty fines and legal penalties for businesses responsible.
The dense and abrasive nature of kieselguhr sludge makes it difficult to handle and transport. Specialised equipment is needed to move the sludge safely from the filtration site to disposal or treatment facilities and, without proper handling procedures, there is a risk of spills and environmental contamination.
Additionally, the disposal of kieselguhr sludge is subject to stringent environmental regulations in the UK, and necessitates meticulous documentation and adherence to approved disposal methods.
Universal Tankers offers expert kieselguhr sludge management services that ensure safe and compliant handling of this waste, including:
Although spent grains are primarily composed of husks, pericarp, and fragments of the seeds, they still contain valuable nutrients such as fibre, protein, and residual starches. This can make them a useful resource if managed properly.
Universal Tankers offers comprehensive spent grains management services to help you handle this waste sustainably and efficiently, and avoid wasting these potential resources.
Customised management plans: we understand that the quantity and type of spent grains can vary, and tailor our services accordingly. Our customised management plans are designed to handle your specific needs efficiently.
Drain jetting, also known as high-pressure water jetting, is used to clean and clear blockages in drainage systems. Our professional drain jetting services are designed to keep your drainage systems clear, efficient, and compliant with environmental standards, and prevent costly disruptions to your business.
Using high-pressure water jets, we clear any blockages caused by spent grains, yeast surplus, and kieselguhr sludge, so that your drains can maintain optimal flow. This method not only removes obstructions but also thoroughly cleans the interior surfaces of your pipes, which reduces the risk of future build-ups and can prolong the life of your drainage system.
Regular drain jetting is essential for preventing unexpected blockages that can halt production and lead to expensive repairs. By scheduling routine maintenance with Universal Tankers, you can rest assured that your drainage systems are always in peak condition.
Moreover, our drain jetting services are environmentally friendly and utilise only high-pressure water without the need for harsh chemicals. This sustainable approach helps your business reduce its environmental footprint and meets UK environmental best practice guidelines.
Our drain jetting services include the following steps:
Preventative recommendations: based on our findings, we provide tailored recommendations for ongoing maintenance and any necessary repairs. Our goal is to help you maintain a trouble-free drainage system, and reduce the risk of future blockages and operational disruptions.
