Alcohol and yeast production is the most important part of the biotechnological production in Yugoslavia, with annual production of 13 667 867 liters of absolute alcohol and of 20 947 490 kg of yeast in the year 1998. Large environmental load is produced by wastewaters from alcohol and yeast factories (512 000 P.E.), especially by alcohol stillage (BOD 40 000 - 50 000 mg/L). Anaerobic treatment is suitable process for treatment of alcohol stillage, and of yeast factory wastewater. In this paper, effects of treatment process (organic load reduction, energy of produced biogas) are discussed; and potential of anaerobic treatment os wastewaters from Yugoslavia's alcohol and yeast factories is reviewed.
