Co2 recovery system for breweries
Unlock the full potential of fermentation by capturing and purifying CO2 for immediate reuse or sale, enabling significant cost savings and contributing to a greener production process.
Captures and Purifies Fermentation CO2
The GEA CO2 Recovery System is a solution engineered for breweries and beverage manufacturers to efficiently capture and purify CO2 generated during fermentation. This system is distinct in its ability to achieve 99.998% food-grade CO2 purity, crucial for carbonating beverages like beer, sparkling wines, and sodas, or manufacturing dry ice. With a capacity of up to 5,000 kg/h, it handles both large-scale and continuous operations, integrating seamlessly with existing energy systems to optimize efficiency. The process involves capturing raw gas, scrubbing, compression, purification, drying, and liquefaction, ensuring minimal waste and high resource recovery. Fully automated, the system enhances operational reliability and reduces manual intervention, thus saving costs and supporting environmental sustainability. Its robust design, featuring components like gas scrubbers and storage tanks, offers flexibility and durability. GEA also provides customization and engineering support to tailor the system for your specific fermentation process, ensuring seamless integration into new or existing plant infrastructure.
