Water deaeration module for breweries and soft drink manufacturers
Ensure high-quality beverage production by efficiently removing dissolved oxygen from water, enhancing product stability and taste while minimizing the risk of contamination. Ideal for small-scale operations requiring precise gas stripping and easy maintenance.
Deoxygenates Water for Beverage Production
The Aldox Mini Water Deaeration Module by Alfa Laval is a purpose-built solution for breweries and soft drink manufacturers seeking efficient oxygen removal from process water. Utilizing a gas stripping process with an optimized internal packing material, the module achieves dissolved oxygen levels as low as 0.01 ppm, enhancing product quality by reducing oxygen pickup in craft beer and soda production. With a compact, skid-mounted design, it seamlessly integrates into existing lines, handling capacities of 10-40 hl/h (4.4-17.6 gpm). Fully automated with PLC control and integrated CIP, the module ensures easy operation and maintenance, while its efficient use of carbon dioxide—retaining over 95%—offers superior performance without the need for pressure-rated vessels. Operating within a temperature range of 10-30°C, the Aldox Mini is an energy-efficient, scalable solution for maintaining beverage purity and consistency.
