De-alcoholisation plants suit various feed rates

THE special product features and process advantages of GEA Wiegand’s beer de-alcoholisation plants contribute to their broad adoption worldwide. 

 

The company has designed units heated through Mechanical Vapour Recompression (MVR) for larger feed rates. Steam heated falling film evaporation plants are traditionally used for feed rates between 10 hl/h and 50 hl/h.

 

MVR offers significant energy cost savings and lower carbon footprint compared with former de-alcoholisation processes in the market.

 

GEA Wiegand’s GEA Filtration enables an efficient de-alcoholisation process using reverse osmosis membranes. Suitable for feed rates lower than 10 hl/h, these plants operate on the principle of Crossflow membrane filtration. 

 

The company offers two plant configurations for 5 hl/h and 10 hl/h capacities. They adopt low filtration temperature to maintain the aroma and characteristic properties of the beer.
