Challenge
At high altitudes, specific conditions prevail, such as low air pressure and reduced system performance. For CO₂ recovery, this places additional demands on the design and operation of the compressors.

Solution
Reciprocating compressors enable reliable CO₂ compression even under demanding environmental conditions.

The systems used are designed to operate stably even at reduced ambient pressure, ensuring continuous recovery.

Implementation in Tibet
At a brewery situated at an altitude of over 3,600 metres, TZW 70 series reciprocating compressors are used for CO₂ recovery.

Despite the extreme conditions, the plant processes up to 380 kg of CO₂ per hour with only a minimal loss of capacity. The systems are fully integrated into the production process and ensure reliable operation.

Results

• Reliable CO₂ recovery at high altitude
• Stable operation despite reduced ambient pressure
• High system performance with minimal loss of capacity
• Secure integration into the production process
