Integrierte Vermeidung und Verminderung der Umweltverschmutzung

Glossary
Vinasses A by-product that is generated when processing molasses. After the
fermentable sugar in molasses has been used by the micro-organisms
(e.g. yeasts) and the compounds produced have been separated out
(e.g. alcohol is distilled), this is the remaining nutrient medium. The
non-sugar substances that have not been assimilated and metabolic side
products are in this liquid. Vinasses may be concentrated to give a
solids content of 70 % by multiple-effect evaporators
Viscera The organs contained within the trunk, considered collectively, e.g. the
digestive tract, heart and lungs
Wort A sweet infusion of ground malt or other grain before fermentation,
used to produce, e.g. beer and distilled malt liquors

milligrams per litre, expressed as chlorine, of all halogen compounds
(except fluorine) present in a sample of water that are capable of being
adsorbed on activated carbon

aw
Water activity
The water activity (aw) of a given food is defined as
aw = pf/pw ,
where pf and pw are the pressures of water vapour in equilibrium with the
given food system and with pure water, respectively, both at the same
temperature
BAFF Biological aerated flooded filter
BAT Best Available Technique(s)
BOD Biochemical oxygen demand: the quantity of dissolved oxygen required
by micro-organisms in order to decompose organic matter. The unit of
measurement is mg O2/l. In Europe, BOD is usually measured after 3
(BOD3), 5 (BOD5) or 7 (BOD7) days
