In 2023, Rye River Brewing Company reduced water usage, through updates in its Reverse Osmosis system, exceeding their milestone target by 26%.
In 2023, Rye River Brewing Company made significant strides in reducing water waste, particularly through improvements to its Reverse Osmosis system, which is a method of water filtration. These improvements have allowed the company to decrease water output from 11.16 hL/hL in 2022 to 8.05 hL/hL in 2023, surpassing its water efficiency target by 26%, with further improvements expected from new equipment, such as a new Reverse Osmosis system and new Clean-in-Place skid systems (CIP), set to be introduced in 2023. The company’s CIP system uses automated technology to wash tanks, vats and pipework circuits, ensuring the optimal amount of water is utilised. Key initiatives that contributed to this success include installing a water filter and low-level probe on the CIP skid to prevent overfilling. The introduction of a new CIP system offers even more potential for reducing water usage, through optimised flow paths, automated control systems and more precise monitoring of cleaning cycles. The introduction of these high quality and efficient machines, provide insight into the efforts made by Rye River Brewing Company throughout their sustainable practices.
