Large Scale – Example 1 USA Brewery

1.   Dual Lauter Tun brew streams installed at full
     capacity
2.   Scale of vessels – Large FVs/BBTs/Silos external
     (cones within building), more cost effective

                                                                        250m
3.   Use of existing equipment & buildings
4.   Expansion
      1. Future constructability taken into account
      2. Raw Material Storage, FVs, MVs, BBTs
5.   Logistics
      1. Malt in via rail
      2. Access to site

1.     Dual Mash Filter brew streams
2.     Scale of vessels – Scale of vessels – Large
       FVs/BBTs/Silos fully external, more cost effective
3.     Greenfield site
4.     Processing area relatively small section of the site
       compared to packaging and storage
5.     Use of Ammonia required dedicated utility room - but this
       isn’t always the case depending on where in the world the
       plant is.
6.     Logistics

Environment and Location
                           1. Topography
                           2. Ambient Conditions
                           3. Envelope of land
                           4. Single story/multi storey
Key watchouts:
•   Layout will evolve over the project.
    Your first layout won’t be your final layout!

•   You might be expected to develop a layout
    before knowing final site. If so, start with your
    ideal layout based on best assumptions at the
    time and then fit onto site afterwards

•   Consider how equipment is going to be
    maintained
       • What if the lauter drive gearbox needs
           maintenance? Large LT drives can be
           4.5te!
       • Is there sufficient room around
           equipment for an engineer to work
           safely
       • Packaged equipment often comes with
           an defined area required for
           maintenance
       • Is there a requirement for lifting beams?
Key watchouts:
•    Don’t forget to allow enough room for ancillary
     equipment. With only the major equipment on
     the layout it can look like there is a lot of space
     until you put in the following:
         • Pipe bridges
         • Cable trays
         • Drainage
         • Walkways
         • Fork truck access route
         • Ingredient storage (hops, yeast etc)
         • Hose reels
         • Safety showers
         • Structural steel work

•    Consider venting of vessels within the layout,
     often there are restrictions on where
     penetrations can be made through the
     building/roof (from both structural and
     architectural considerations)
Other considerations

•   People                                          •   Visitors
      • Production team                                     • Does there need to be a visitor route?
                                                            • Segregation of certain areas from visitors?
      • Maintenance Team
      • Sales/Admin location                        •   Good site location (relative to market)
                                                        e.g. Courage Berkshire Brewery
•   Operation/Automation                                    • Replaced old town centre brewery
      • Fully automated/manual                              • Originally on greenfield land close to Motorway
                                                               junction
      • Central control location/dispersed                  • Over time area developed, land became high value
      • CIP manual/Automatic                                   - site sold and production relocated.

•   Greenfield/Brownfield site                      •   Details
                                                           • Drainage
       •   Integration into existing process flow
                                                           • Electrical supplies/cable trays
       •   Completely new site                             • Floor slopes
