Vacuum Deaeration
The Bevcorp vacuum deaerator is the most common form of deaeration used in meter-based blenders to achieve the lowest dissolved O2 value possible. The deaerator is a “vacuum/recirculation” type oxygen removal system with CO2 injection.
Advantages:
- Can supply from .75 to 1.2 ppm O2 content, depending upon water temperature
- Contains an atomizing diffuser in the water inlet to the deaerator allowing the water to give up most of the entrained gasses
- The elimination of entrained gasses from the water facilitates CO2 absorption in the mixed product
- Smaller footprint
- Less installation cost
- Deaerator and discharge piping are cleaned during CIP
- Historical data trending and reporting
CIP/Deaerator Integration
The Vacuum Deaerator has the capability of optional CIP functionality built into the same skid package. The existing vacuum tank becomes the CIP reservoir. The result on a conventional CIP system is a lower overall hardware cost limited to the heat exchanger with controls, the return and outlet temperature and chemical strength instrumentation. The operator interface is PC-driven with historical data collection and reporting.
- CIP functions are built into the vacuum deaerator skid by permitting the existing vacuum tank to become the CIP reservoir.
- Utilizes existing footprint, electrical and process piping connections and distribution pumps
- PC-driven operator interface with historical data collection and reporting
- Deaerator and discharge piping are cleaned during CIP
- Smaller footprint
- Lower installation cost
Audits
Bevcorp process engineers can audit your systems to identify equipment capabilities and deficiencies in blending units, service utilities, and refrigeration systems.
