Case Study: a brewery in Wisconsin reduces fermentation tank replacement costs with Envista Forensics

Brewery in Wisconsin cuts tank replacement costs 44% with Envista Forensics

A brewery in Wisconsin faced a significant challenge when its fermentation tank imploded due to an improperly positioned valve. The tank's size and location within the facility made repair or replacement difficult, with one proposal involving a costly new building construction. The brewery engaged Envista Forensics and its equipment consulting services to evaluate the options.

Envista Forensics engaged multiple tank fabricators and developed an innovative solution to fabricate a replacement tank onsite using standard door accesses, eliminating the need for any building modifications. This approach was not only a time-saving measure but also resulted in a total estimated cost of around $394,000, a 44% reduction from the initial $719,000 proposal.
