เกจ์วัดแรงดันแก๊ส reduces the water consumption for diafiltration during dealcoholization by up to 100 percent. The alcoholic base produced as a by-product of the filtration course of can be used for manufacturing different beverages within the brewery, such as hard seltzer.
GEA AromaPlus makes use of a filtration know-how with particular polymer membranes to separate alcohol and water from the other ingredients by the use of reverse osmosis; these elements are essential for the aroma, color and turbidity of the ultimate product. Adding the model new PRO expertise to the water-saving CO2 blow-out perform and the selective membrane which is already implemented within the AromaPlus unit design, GEA saves more than two thirds and up to one hundred pc of the recent water used for diafiltration.
“Our newest AromaPlus technology combines the pattern in course of zero.0% beer with the aim of lowering water in manufacturing,” says Ralf Scheibner, filtration skilled at GEA, under whose leadership the GEA AromaPlus has been further developed. “In fact, a membrane course of requires lots of water to flush out the alcohol. That is a matter for breweries with a restricted deoxygenized water availability. Our new PRO answer is a crucial step for them in path of contemporary water neutrality in manufacturing processes.”
The complete dealcoholization system GEA AromaPlus is mounted on a body. It includes the filtration modules and reverse osmosis membranes, pumps for media transfer and system strain build-up, the complete internal piping, a CIP dosing unit put in subsequent to the system, and the control gear required for semi-automated operation. – Image: GEA/Mike Henning.
While breweries need much less recent water for the diafiltration step, the permeate leaving the system could be reused as a valuable by-product. Due to its lower quantity, it has a better alcohol content material and can due to this fact serve as a base for alcoholic combined drinks and newer drinks, similar to hard seltzer, or can be reused within the brewery itself.
“The Corona pandemic showed that breweries whose manufacturing facilities offered the flexibleness to process other drinks coped finest with the drop in demand. GEA AromaPlus is an effective example of how prospects can gear their vegetation toward high demand dynamics,” says Scheibner. Originally designed for the dealcoholization of beer all the way down to zero.0%, the system can additionally be used used for different non-alcoholic drinks, corresponding to zero.0% cider.
