Challenge
During fermentation, CO₂ is produced as a by-product of the brewing process. Without recovery, this gas would escape unused, even though it is needed again later in the production process.

Solution
A CO₂ recovery system treats the gas produced, compresses it and stores it for later use.

The piston compressor plays a central role in reliably bringing the CO₂ up to the required pressure level.

Implementation in Germany
At a brewery in southern Germany, the CO₂ produced during fermentation is continuously captured and processed.

After compression, it is stored in liquid form and fed back into the production process as required. This ensures the quality of the end product remains consistent and optimises resource usage.

Results

• Recovery of CO₂ from the brewing process
• Consistent quality of the end product
• Reduced need for externally supplied CO₂
• Efficient integration into existing systems
