The brewing industry generates a high amount of effluents in the stages of the production
process, the residues have a significant potential for pollutants. In the beer production process
there is a high consumption of water, which arouses the interest of companies to identify
opportunities to reduce the use of water in the production process and reuse water after
effluent treatment, in order to reduce industrial waste, which has a high rate of contaminants.
This work relates bibliographic research and brewing industry effluent treatment, aiming to
show that it is possible to reuse the effluent treatment water composed of a UASB reactor
associated with a membrane bioreactor (BRM), through estimation of material removal
efficiencies organic, having as reference for the reactor UASB + BAS, the efficiency for SST
(92%), BOD (89%) and COD (93%) and with BRM, the efficiency for SST (99%), BOD
(98%) and COD (99%). As it is possible to reuse water for flushing toilets, washing floors and
ornamental purposes, for a more noble application, the effluent needs to undergo sizing and
qualitative and quantitative study.
