How it works
How our deaeration system works
Aldox™ Core systems are self-contained deaeration modules that are pre-configured, pre-assembled and factory tested before delivery.
The Aldox™ column removes oxygen from the incoming water, which is routed via the liquid distributor at the top of the column. High oxygen desorption is achieved by using carbon dioxide as the stripping gas over a packed bed at atmospheric pressure. Specially developed internal packing material maximizes the possible surface area over which the liquid and gas can make contact.
Exceptionally efficient oxygen removal
This deaeration technology results in efficient oxygen removal with very low gas consumption. 95% or more of the stripping gas entering the column is dissolved into the water, which reduces the need for additional carbonation with products such as high-gravity blended beer. The virtually oxygen-free water is collected at the bottom of the column.
An automated deaeration operation
Aldox™ Core systems are all fully automated. A PLC controls all operations, monitored by a fail-safe system. Operators select a range of clearly defined functions via an easy-to-use colour touch panel.
Units are also designed for cleaning-in-place procedures. In compliance with food industry regulations, all components that come into contact with process liquids are made of stainless steel, with heat-resistant seals.
