GEA AromaPlus PRO reduces the water consumption for diafiltration throughout dealcoholization by as much as one hundred pc. The alcoholic base produced as a by-product of the filtration course of can be utilized for manufacturing other beverages in the brewery, similar to onerous seltzer.
เครื่องมือใช้วัดความดัน uses a filtration technology with special polymer membranes to separate alcohol and water from the other components by the use of reverse osmosis; these ingredients are crucial for the aroma, colour and turbidity of the ultimate product. Adding the brand new PRO technology to the water-saving CO2 blow-out perform and the selective membrane which is already applied within the AromaPlus unit design, GEA saves more than two thirds and up to 100 percent of the fresh water used for diafiltration.
“Our newest AromaPlus generation combines the development in the direction of zero.0% beer with the objective of lowering water in production,” says Ralf Scheibner, filtration professional at GEA, underneath whose management the GEA AromaPlus has been further developed. “In fact, a membrane course of requires a lot of water to flush out the alcohol. That is a matter for breweries with a restricted deoxygenized water availability. Our new PRO resolution is an important step for them towards fresh water neutrality in production processes.”
The complete dealcoholization system GEA AromaPlus is mounted on a frame. It comprises the filtration modules and reverse osmosis membranes, pumps for media transfer and system strain build-up, the complete inner piping, a CIP dosing unit installed next to the system, and the control gear required for semi-automated operation. – Image: GEA/Mike Henning.
While breweries want less contemporary water for the diafiltration step, the permeate leaving the system may be reused as a priceless by-product. Due to its lower quantity, it has the next alcohol content material and might therefore function a base for alcoholic mixed drinks and newer drinks, such as hard seltzer, or can be reused inside the brewery itself.
“The Corona pandemic showed that breweries whose manufacturing amenities supplied the flexibility to process different beverages coped finest with the drop in demand. GEA AromaPlus is an effective instance of how prospects can gear their crops towards high demand dynamics,” says Scheibner. Originally designed for the dealcoholization of beer right down to zero.0%, the system can be used used for different non-alcoholic beverages, similar to zero.0% cider.
