ARIAS-LAFARGUE, Telvia. Viable Choice to Recover Pasteurization Waters. RTQ [online]. 2014, vol.34, n.1, pp. 37-49. ISSN 2224-6185.

To reduce the pollution that is discharged into the bay from Hatuey Brewery, we designed a pumping system to recover water used in the process of pasteurization and bottling of beer maltinas city of Santiago de Cuba. The proposed system has commercial steel pipe 3 1/2 ^" std, 2 pumps B.S.C. 50-30 and 2 tanks 3 m³ capacity for storing hot and cold water respectively. The proposal allows to reduce the production cost by saving process water and gas emissions combustion products achieving savings of 1 642,81 kg/h of steam which represents a fuel saving 241 ton/year, representing a saving of $ 15 455,96/year.
