Energy recovery system

CO2 generated during fermentation is a valuable resource that can be recovered, purified and reused within the brewery, or sold on to the food and beverage industry. As well as helping to reduce production costs, CO2 recovery from fermentation means a greener process overall, with lower emissions and a reduced carbon footprint. CO2 recovery on any scale GEA CO2 recovery technology generates 99.998% pure, food-grade CO2, which can be used in house for carbonating your own beers, sparkling wines and other beverages, and may completely remove the need to purchase CO2 from external suppliers. Alternatively, the recovered CO2 can represent an additional revenue stream, and be sold to the beverage industry for use in carbonation, for example, or marketed to the food and other industries for use in manufacturing dry ice. A GEA CO2 recovery system could pay for itself within 1.5-4.0 years. We can provide CO2 recovery plants with a capacity up to 5,000 kg/h, and can, if required, configure systems that are capable of stripping CO2 from early fermentation. The final design of any system will be dependent on the type of fermentation process and amount of CO2 generated, the raw materials used, and how the recovered clean CO2 will be used. We will always work with you to customize the best system using durable, high-performing components, whether you are building a new plant or are setting up CO2 recovery into an existing brewery. The aim is always to try to integrate the system seamlessly into your existing energy supply systems, to help optimize efficiency and energy usage. The GEA CO2 recovery system is designed to be maintenance friendly.
