One of only 140 plants in the U.S. to receive the award
Achieved more than 7.5% total energy savings
Save Energy Now is a U.S. DOE initiative to reduce industrial energy intensity 25% or more in 10 years
2011 — Business Friend of the Environment-Medium Size Company, WI Manufacturers & Commerce
2012 — Accepted into the WI DNR Green Tier program
2013 — Accepted into the Wisconsin Green Masters program

4. Achievements — Natural Gas Reductions — — Electricity Reductions — — Water Conservation — — Waste Stream Management — — Packaging and Transportation — — General Operating Efficiencies —

5. Natural Gas Extract Plant — Reduction of 20% Malthouse
Heat exchange systems recover hot water streams for reuse in cleaning and boiler systems
Heat generated by drying operations is recovered and reused throughout the plant
Malthouse
4% reduction with boiler fire control system
20% annual reduction as a result of installing air-to-air heat exchanges on kilns
20% reduction as a result of new operating procedures for roasting malt

6. Electricity Extract Plant Chilton Malthouse
10% reduction as a result of new heat exchange system
Conversion from freon to ammonia refrigeration eliminated ozone-damaging greenhouse gasses and reduced energy consumption by 20%
Chilton Malthouse
8% reduction as a result of Variable Frequency Drives (VFD)
8% reduction as a result of improvements to electrical systems throughout the malthouse

7. Water Conservation Extract Plant
New heat exchange system reuses water, reducing annual water usage by 3.5 million gallons
Clean discharge water is piped into surface storm basins, reducing the need to treat 6 million gallons of water annually

8. Waste Stream Management
99% of all waste streams generated by Briess is recycled as:
Cattle feed
To generate electricity
Fertilizer
Sludge waste generated by our WWTP provides nutrients to farmers for land spreading
Multiple fields approved for spreading
High strength waste from the Extract Plant helps generate a continuous 1.5 kwh of electricity at a local mega farm
Waterloo Malthouse and animal nutritionists developed a feed market which reduces the need to landfill or land apply 1 million pounds of waste stream annually

9. Packaging and Transportation
All product packaging is recyclable
Transportation
Multiple railroad spurs receive and ship product
Multiple transloading stations

10. General Operating Efficiencies
Strict maintenance programs assure equipment and vehicles operate at peak efficiency
A clean-in-place(CIP) system reduces the amount of chemicals needed to clean/sanitize to meet food-grade requirements
Capital Improvements
Safety/Environmental
Quality/GMP
Cost Savings
Business Expansion
Replacement

11. General Operating Efficiencies
Office operations
All office paper, toner cartridges, newspapers, cardboard, glass, select plastics and metals are recycled
Electronic fax operations
100% smoke-free environment
Employee training
MBA Program, Associate Degree Program
HACCP and other operations programs
