4.6. Final Concept Summary Concept Two: This concept utilizes rollers in the milling process to crack open the grain. Though rollers are more expensive that the other milling methods, they provide a larger contact surface area which proves to be most effective and most efficient in this process. Heat exchangers and steam jackets were selected to heat the water for the mashing process. Heat exchangers provide a rapid source of heat with the use of steam as opposed to alternative heating methods which are time consuming and costly. With cost and space being one of the constraints the concept of a Steels Mash aided in combining certain phases within the process. This helped reduce the number of tanks that where required along with the machinery. …show more content…

A project plan details the time allocation for all aspects of design and must adhered to, to ensure a successful completion of the project. Further in-depth research will be conducted into structural, power, piping, automation, bottling and process requirements as the project progresses. The design development phase of the project, began with the functional decomposition of a low-cost automated brewery. In this, each process within the design of the brewery was broken down into a basic function, with the individual inputs and outputs of each function being considered. With the functional decomposition in mind, each function was researched for associated concepts, in order to create as much variety within the concept generation phase as possible. A broader spectrum of concepts, allowed for more creativity during the concept generation phase. Once this was complete, the concepts were sketched up in draft form, to be later drawn up in the CAD software, Plant Design 3D. The binary dominance matrix was then used to determine the relationships between each of the required specifications and then the relative weighting of each specification was …show more content…
