Minimum value of residual oxygen with minimum expenditure
Oxygen in beer and beverages may spoil the perishability and taste. It is
therefore important to use optimum deaerated water for the redilution of beer
and for the production of beverages. The innovative GEA Diessel water
deaeration system VARIDOX™ (cold deaeration system) achieves excellent
residual oxygen values which makes it most suitable for this and other
applications.
The water is sprayed in the de-aerating column and slowly trickles down the
packed columns. The bottom-up flowing CO2 (N2) ensures the release of the
oxygen. At the outlet of the system the water is saturated with CO2 (N2). An
increase of the carbonating degree of the outcoming water to a certain set
value is possible with low additional expenditure.
The probes for flow rate, level, and optionally oxygen monitor the
VARIDOX™ system for its proper function. The water deaeration
system VARIDOX™ is cleaned on the product path.
