Abstract: A process for preparing a malt liqueur from a fermented wort initially comprising at least about 40% by weight barley malt. The process comprises an initial filtration of the fermented wort to provide an essentially particulate-free liquid comprising alcohol and water. The liquid is freeze concentrated to produce a concentrated alcohol liquid base to which can be added and mixed natural or synthetic flavorings to thereby produce a liqueur product.

Abstract: A system and process for processing a predominantly aqueous phase solution separated from an emulsion coolant recovered from can bodies in a can manufacturing process to recover reclaimable oil. A recirculation line is provided between an ultrafiltration device and a processing tank which receives a predominantly aqueous phase solution produced by acid cracking processing of the emulsion coolant. A substantially constant waste concentration level is maintained in the processing tank and, consequently, through an ultrafiltration device by bleeding concentrated retente from the recirculation line. The substantially constant waste concentration level extends the cleaning cycle period of the ultrafiltration device by an amount consistent with the ability to process concentrated retente bled from the recirculation line. The ultrafiltration device produces a permeate effluent which is consistent and suitable for discharge.

Abstract: Used oil and water emulsion coolant recovered from can bodies in a can manufacturing process is processed to form reconstituted emulsion coolant by washing emulsion coolant adhering to can bodies off of the cans with an aqueous solution having a pH less than about 2.
