Description
The NXT DEOX deoxygenation system using Liqui-Cel membrane contactors can be installed directly on the production line. For process water flowing at 60 hl / h (~ 26 gpm), two Liqui-Cel 8×20 membrane contactors arranged in series are required to remove almost 100% of the dissolved oxygen. A centrifugal pump can be added upstream of the system if necessary. A vacuum pump is used to create a pressure gradient which allows for better oxygen extraction. Measuring instruments make it possible to know the properties of the process water entering and leaving the deoxygenation system, particularly the oxygen sensor, which validates the performance of the system.
Deaerated water is used in the production of non-alcoholic beer, high-gravity brewing and also seltzers. It allows the water to be mixed into the beverage without creating oxydation. Oxygen-free water can also be used to do water push without leaving traces of oxygen in the tanks and piping.
