This Master's Thesis evaluates development of the last city-owned brewery DUDAK - Municipal Brewery Strakonice, a.s. in the Czech Republic. Analysis of economic situation of the company takes place during 2009 - 2013. Methods of financial analysis are used for exploring the brewery. The methods are horizontal and vertical analysis, analysis of differential indicators, financial ratios and bankruptcy models. Methods of strategic analysis are used to analyse the company as well. The strategic methods are PEST analysis, Porter five forces analysis and SWOT analysis. The thesis consists of two main parts. First one is methodological and the second one is practical. The first part contains the methodology of each indicator. The second part compares results with values of the sector and interprets the results. The conclusion includes the whole picture of economic situation in DUDAK - Municipal Brewery Strakonice, a.s. and identification of key information for future development of the company.

The thesis deals with design of brewery Hoppy Friends, situated in Moravská Třebová. The building is designed with 3 floors and is a basement. On the basement is lager cellar with coolbox. On the first floor is a brewery with grain storage, visitor center, brewery facility, boiler room and a shop. On the second floor are offices and laboratories. The brewery building is designed from a masonry systém with a ventilated facade with wooden and aluminium lining, foundation on strip foundation with warm flat roof.

This thesis describes the design and following fabrication and putting into service of the control system for brewhouse of home nanobrewery. Power electronics is adapted to previously purchased brewery equipment. For controller are given possibilities of using available solutions. Subsequently is made own controller design. Follows a software design for manual control of individual parts nanobrewery and automating some processes.

Diploma thesis adress the design of pension with a small brewery in the village Sebranice near Litomyšl. This project adresses two buildings. Reconstruction of homestead in pension with small brewery and reconstruction neighboring barn in detached hause of operator, which is desingns for four up to five people.

This diploma thesis is about design and realization of universal control unit of technologic processes in food-processing industry. The main goal of this work is to create a device, which will be able with respect to desired values and using measured data autunomusly regulate output. In this work was done the realization of the control unit both from hardware and software aspect. Designed control unit is able to change the output power according to measured temperature. Furthermore is able to control of 2 relays. To set up the desired values and control of relays is used PC software.

Diploma thesis presents automatization of brewhouse in Ústecký Region. The first part of thesis describes beer brewing technology. Second describes changes made to the techno- logy and installation of remote service access. Further is discussed the implementation of algorithms in existing PLC, design of SCADA system including it’s implementation. The last part describes how commissioning was done, and further describes record of lautering.

This thesis deals with castle rear in Middle Ages (13.-16. cent.) in Náchod district. Terrain exploration has taken place at 15 castles in Nachod district and has brought some new knowledge about the castle rear. A major benefit of the work is the discovery of a fortified castle rear of Adršpach castle, which was detail analyzed. This thesis also deals with questions, if specific castle need castle rear to its own existing and which relationship has castle to different components of the economic operation. The greatest attention is given to relationship of the castle to the town, economic court, mill and brewery. The results of the work are compared in a broader context.

As the microbrewery industry expands, disposal of brewery wastewater is becoming more of a concern, both for brewery operators and for local municipal wastewater authorities. Brewery wastewater is characterized as containing high strength organics and high variability in both organic and hydraulic loading. This high variability increased the challenge of treating brewery wastewater properly. Therefore, it is significant for optimizing the operation condition for the small-scale wastewater treatment system. This study conducted a batch study and a field study for optimizing a craft brewery on-site wastewater treatment system, which is equipped with two moving bed biofilm reactors (MBBR). In the batch study, a two-factor Box-Wilson central composite design (CCD) was adopted to find optimum biomethane production conditions for the digestion of brewery wastewater with a dairy manure inoculum. The effects of two major influencing factors of temperature (T) (25-49°C) and brewery wastewater concentration (BWC) (2-9 g VS/L) on biochemical methane potential (BMP) (CH₄ yield) and CH₄ maximum production rate (Rmax) were evaluated by applying response surface methodology (RSM). All of the trials presented a high organic removal efficiency with volatile solid (VS) 82-91%, soluble chemical oxygen demand (sCOD) 77-88%, and total chemical oxygen demand (tCOD) between 47% -76%. The experiment result suggested that the first-order kinetic rate constant and biogas content (methane percentage in the biogas) can be affected by the temperature. The mesophilic regime had the highest average rate constant, and the psychrophilic regime rate constant was significantly lower than the mesophilic and thermophile regime. The conditions in the thermophile range present a high variability for the first-order rate constant. The methane ratio in the biogas increased and stabilized by the operation time. Mesophilic and thermophilic regimes obtained a stabile biogas content around 25 days, and the psychrophilic regime spent extra time to stabilized. At the end of the anaerobic digestion, the psychrophilic, mesophilic, and thermophilic regimes had an average methane percentage of 47%,65%, and 67% respectively. Optimum BMP and Rmax were achieved under conditions of 49 °C and BWC of 5g VS/L. Correspondingly, the BMP and Rmax were 141.40 mL CH₄/g VS added and 36.5 mL CH₄/ day, respectively. However, by pursuing stability the preferable operational condition T=35℃ and BWC=5 g/L is recommended, at this condition methane yield is 110.07 CH₄/g VS added and maximum methane daily production is 28.06 CH₄/ day, which is similar to the maximum result. In field study, an on-site brewery wastewater treatment system equipped with two MBBR reactors was evaluated from October 12th, 2018 to February 10th, 2020 in Beau`s All-Natural Brewing Company, Vankleek Hill, Ontario, Canada. The aim of the study was to characterize the wastewater production (flow and organic loading rate), evaluate the operating conditions and performance of the MBBR system, and recommend improvements. Discharge from the brewery is highly variable for both organic and hydraulic loading with flow balancing recommended. The MBBR full-scale reactors operated at relatively stable conditions at a surface area loading rate (SALR) of less than 25 g/m2.d and dissolved oxygen (DO) greater than 2mg/L. Kinetic rate constants for suspended growth and attached growth biomass in the reactors were found to be similar at 0.0764-0.0908 h-1, however, a much larger attached growth mass in the reactors suggests that only a fraction of the attached growth biofilm is active. Effluent recycle was shown to be effective at controlling filamentous bacteria (type-0041) sludge bulking, reducing suspended solid concentration, and sCOD concentration.

The aim of the diploma project entitled Revitalization and renewal of public spaces in Veľké Němčice was to find the right approach to finding a new use of the former brewery building located in the center of the village. With the right function, contribution to the development of the village was to transform part of the building into a community center, which in terms of capacity and location fits into the development strategy of the village. The second part of the building was at least partially restored to its original function in the form of a small brewery.
