Water deaeration system for beverages
In beverage production, especially for both still and carbonated drinks, minimizing oxygen content in water is crucial to preserve taste and extend shelf-life. Traditional methods often leave residual oxygen, affecting the product’s quality over time.
Minimizes residual oxygen in beverage water
The GEA DIOX-2 is a two-stage water deaeration technology designed to achieve exceptionally low residual oxygen concentrations in beverage water. This system operates by first extracting the majority of the oxygen using vacuum deaeration. Next, CO2 is introduced into the pre-deaerated water to encourage the release of additional oxygen, which is then removed in a second vacuum stage. The deaerated water is subsequently transferred to the next process stage via a discharge pump. The GEA DIOX-2 is notable for its low CO2 consumption, low operational and maintenance costs, and ease of integration into existing systems. It is suitable for generating water with a residual oxygen content of ≤ 0.05 mg/l and can handle flow rates between 50 hl/h and 900 hl/h. The compact design minimizes installation time and spatial footprint, making it an efficient choice for beverage industries. GEA, the supplier, ensures high-quality materials and modular configurations for different production needs.
