Efficient Brewing with KEOFITT Valves at FH Campus Wien
Practical Learning in Bioprocess Engineering
The Scientific Brewhouse at FH Campus Wien is not just an educational facility but also a mini-industrial setup where bioprocess engineering students gain hands-on experience in brewing. The facility encompasses learning in areas like biochemistry and microbiology to automation, emphasizing quality management in a business-like environment.
Experimentation and Scale-Up Challenges
Students undertake tasks such as developing beer recipes on a 20-liter scale and then scaling up to 150 liters. This process involves crucial adjustments in parameters including alcohol content and bitterness.
KEOFITT Valves: Precision in Scale-Up
The real challenge comes during the scale-up process in the pilot plant, where KEOFITT valves play a critical role. These valves ensure precise control over the process, maintaining quality and consistency even when handling larger volumes.
Reliable Results
By using KEOFITT valves, students manage to achieve more reliable transfer parameters, like residence times and heating rates. This not only provides them with practical brewing skills but also critical insights into process standardization and quality control.
The integration of KEOFITT valves into the brewing process at FH Campus Wien showcases how effective tools can enhance educational outcomes and provide students with a real-world understanding of scaling up production efficiently.
