Co2 recovery system for breweries
In brewery operations, CO2 generated during fermentation is often regarded as waste. However, with increasing environmental concerns and the rising costs of CO2 procurement, there’s a need for efficient CO2 recovery systems to reutilize this byproduct, lowering emissions and production costs simultaneously.

Capture, purify, and reuse fermentation Co2
The GEA CO2 Recovery System is designed to capture CO2 generated during fermentation, purify it to 99.998% food-grade quality, and either reuse it within the brewery or sell it to the food and beverage industry. Using durable, high-performing components, the system consists of various steps including gas scrubbing, compression, drying, liquefaction, and stripping, ensuring the highest purity levels. The GEA system is scalable, handling capacities up to 5,000 kg/h, and integrates seamlessly into existing energy supply systems. It also offers efficient heat recovery features to further optimize energy usage. The fully automated process minimizes the need for manual intervention, enhancing overall operational efficiency and sustainability. The CO2 recovery system can pay for itself within 1.5-4.0 years, making it a cost-effective solution for breweries.
