Water degasification with membrane technology
The water quality requirements in a brewery are very complex and vary between different process areas. One issue is for example dissolved gases. Oxygen especially plays a decisive role for high gravity dilution and chase water coming in contact with the final product. In other areas it is often dissolved carbon dioxide that needs to be removed from water to prevent corrosion. This article introduces two examples where water degasification with membrane technology has been installed: at a Boon Rawd Brewery, Thailand, and at Krostitzer Brewery, Radeberger Group, Germany.
