Brewery and Distillery Drains
Brewery and Distillery floors slope toward drainage systems to prevent standing water during the brewing and bottling processes. The slight grade, about ¼” per foot, is subtle but can complicate the concrete pour.
Trench drains simplify a brewery’s concrete floor, one of the earliest stages in any brewery buildout.
Where you’ll find brewery and distillery drains:
On the brew house floor
Along the aisles between fermenters
Inside the walk-in cooler
In the bottling/packaging area
Water usage depends on the size of brewery/distillery and generally is 2 to 5 times the amount of product produced. At minimum, install a 4″ trench drain system for your brew house floor. The trench drain should be pre-sloped for quicker drainage and offer a catch basin to catch solids before the effluent reaches the plumbing. Temperatures in portions of the process are high and limit the use of plastic bodied drainage systems. In high temperatures with chemicals, brewers should use stainless steel or polymer concrete trench drains. Still, in those portions of the process that see cooler temperature with chemicals, a plastic bodied drain may be appropriate.
Top things to consider for a micro-brewery, brewery or distillery floor:
A concrete floor alone will not withstand the rigors that beer, ale and alcohol production creates
The floor must be sound, free from trip hazards, pot holes and cracks
It should be a hygienic surface
It must withstand rigorous cleaning
It should withstand impacts
It must have excellent mains connected drainage
It must be slip-resistant
It must be resistant to a range of chemicals
