Whether you are a brewery or operating in another industrial sector, GEA can help design and configure solutions that enable the effective processing and use of these readily available raw materials.
Creating value from brewery by-products
Spent grain and spent yeast are valuable by-products of the brewing process that can serve as feedstocks for a wide range of applications. With the right processing technologies, these materials can be transformed into higher-value products for food, ingredient, and industrial markets.
GEA combines process expertise, engineering capabilities, and technology solutions to help breweries unlock the potential of these by-products. From recovery and separation to further processing, our solutions are designed to help customers make effective use of available resources and explore new opportunities for value creation.
Rethink: How can GEA help you to valorize brewery sidestreams?
Brewery spent grain (BSG) and brewery spent yeast (BSY) can be used to create food ingredients and nutritional supplements, biotechnology compounds, industrial chemicals and pharmaceutical components. There’s a wealth of opportunities to generate new revenue streams, as well as help to reduce waste and carbon footprint, and support a greener roadmap for the future of manufacturing. Talk to us to find out how our process technologies could open up new opportunities to innovate and create a diverse range of co-products from brewery waste that is available all year round.
Combining expertise
GEA offers a comprehensive portfolio of reliable, flexible technologies, build on decades of in-depth process expertise. We can combine our knowhow with that of our customers, to configure equipment and process lines that can help manufacturers in different industries maximize the value of a brewery output. And at our GEA New Food Application and Technology Center of Excellence (ATC), we’ll work with you to trial and configure GEA equipment and complete lines for BSG and BSY processing, from extraction and heat treatment, to fermentation, homogenization, separation and filtration.
