Challenge
During beer production, CO₂ is produced during fermentation; without recovery, this gas escapes unused. At the same time, demands for sustainability and cost-effectiveness are increasing.

Solution
CO₂ recovery involves treating the gas produced and reusing it in the process. Reciprocating compressors reliably compress the CO₂ and enable its safe reuse.

Mehrer relies on robust piston compressors designed for reliable continuous operation.

Implementation in Belgium
A family-run brewery has been using Mehrer piston compressors since 1972. A long-term partnership began with the first TZW 60 compressor.

Today, the system comprises four compressors and is firmly integrated into the production process. The systems operate reliably in continuous service.

After decades of operation, the system was modernised to continue meeting increasing demands efficiently.

Results

• Reduced CO₂ losses
• Lower operating costs
• High system availability
• Sustainable use of CO₂-
