flexible options for minimising dissolved oxygen
Until recently, nitrogen was only available in delivered form, in bulk or
cylinder. Now, a more flexible and economic option is available. MAXIGAS is
a modular range of nitrogen generators that produces the nitrogen from
compressed atmospheric air. MAXIGAS is able to produce a range of purities
up to 99.999% and can be specified to provide nitrogen requirements for a
range of applications in the brewery and packaging facilities.
Nitrogen is used to prevent contact of ingredients with air, thereby
reducing the potential for oxygen uptake. During bulk storage, the use of
sealed tanks means that positive nitrogen pressure can be used, ensuring
that volume changes due to temperature fluctuations do not lead to the
ingress of air. Nitrogen blanketing of atmospheric tanks is also possible, a
small continuous flow ensuring that air cannot diffuse into the headspace
through vents and also compensating for volume changes. During emptying,
the flow of nitrogen can be increased to fill the head-space and in sealed
systems can be used to aid tank to tank transfer. Low oxygen
levels will also suppress microbial growth.
Use of filters from the BIO-X and TETPOR families on tank vents and
nitrogen inlets will ensure that particulate and microorganisms are removed
from the gas streams.
- On-demand nitrogen up to 99.999% purity.
- Modular, space-saving design that can be expanded as
requirements increase.
- Low maintenance.
- Removal of particles, aerosols and bacteria from nitrogen
distribution lines and tank vents.
