BE CO2 SELF-SUFFICIENT

CO2mpactBrew is a CO2 recovery plant especially designed for smaller, craft-sized breweries to ensure a continuous and self-sufficient supply of beverage-grade quality CO2.

The purity of the liquid CO2 end product exceeds general quality standards for food/beverage/ingredient purposes including the latest edition of the ISBT standard.

Safety first! Since our system utilizes the brewer’s glycol to liquefy the CO2 the operation is free of Freon or Ammonia! Our plug-and-play CO2mpactBrew comes pre-packaged with all parts wired, piped, and pre-mounted on a 40 ft skid. Installation is super fast and relocation - if needed at a later stage - super easy.

Not enough space inside? No problem at all: As an option, we can enclose (y)our CO2mpactBrew in a well-ventilated 40 ft container for outside mounting. Expanding rapidly? CO2mpactBrew keeps pace with your growing sales volumes: same footprint from day one!

Recovering your own CO2 lowers your site’s CO2 footprint and reduces your VOC emissions to the atmosphere. Both contribute to a more sustainable operation.

Our dedication to your CO2 self-sufficiency continues after the commissioning. Through comprehensive lifecycle management, our technical support and service team ensures that your CO2mpactBrew operates optimally.

PROCESS DESCRIPTION

Raw foam-free fermentation gas is fed to the CO2mpactBrew system where water-soluble contaminants such as ethanol are scrubbed in the low-pressure gas washer (1) prior to it being buffered in the balloon (2). A dry-running 3-stage CO2 compressor unit (3) increases the gas pressure to 48barg (696 psig) removing condensate in the process. H2S is filtered after the 2nd stage (4). The remainder of the impurities and water is then removed in the high-pressure gas washer (5), respectively on-line drier (6). Regeneration of the off-line drier is automatic utilizing heating elements and dry CO2 purge gas. CO2 liquefaction takes place in the glycol cooled condenser (8), and O2 removed in the stripper (7). The flash gas is led back to 2nd stage of the CO2 compressor, whilst the purified liquid CO2 end product is fed at 15 barg (218 psig) to the onsite storage tank.

CO2 HARVESTING, COLLECTION & RECOVERY

For breweries wanting to take a strategic step towards self-sufficiency with CO2 Recovery, harvesting and collection technology is needed to bring the CO2 from the fermentation area to the CO2 recovery system. This technology also helps to mitigate the release of excess CO2 into the atmosphere during fermentation by capturing it at its source for CO2 recovery.
