Water is the focus of Steinecker brewing technology
Every state-of-the-art brewery with Steinecker systems and solutions is geared towards sustainability from a technical and technological point of view. The focus here is not only on reducing thermal and electrical energy consumption, but also on reducing water consumption - and there are a multitude of ways to reduce this:
- Rethinking existing processes
- Using innovative technologies
- Maximising the re-use of flushing water and by-products
- Implementing a holistic new CIP concept
- Separate circuits for brewing and process water
- ...
In a holistic approach, Steinecker develops an individual water sustainability concept together with its customers in order to achieve the lowest possible water consumption in the entire brewery.

Holistic concept
The concept takes into account all process steps in production and CIP. The focus here is on three essential pillars: Saving water, Re-using water within the processes and converting water, to return it to the processes.
Can be retrofitted
The concept is not only suitable for new brewery projects, but can also be retrofitted in existing plants.
Great potential for saving water
There is an enormous potential to reduce the overall water consumption in the brewery by using a large number of modules. KPIs of less than 2.0 hectolitres of consumption per hectolitre of sales beer can be achieved.
Project-specific overall concept
Many of the individual processes, technologies and driving methods presented have already proven themselves over many years. The way to success: project-specific combination of the individual components to form a coherent overall concept.
Modular design
Many modules can be retrofitted individually. This enables a step-by-step development towards a final overall concept.
Water as an essential component of the Brewnomic philosophy
Brewnomic combines the holistic Steinecker approach to sustainability. In addition to heat, electricity and waste recycling, this approach naturally also includes water as the main ingredient in beer.
