GEA Wiegand's beer de-alcoholization plants have been successfully sold worldwide thanks to their advantages in view of the process and of the special product features.
For feed rates between 10 hl/h and 50 hl/h, steam heated falling film evaporation plants have traditionally been used (Fig.). For larger feed rates, GEA Wiegand designs units heated by means of Mechanical Vapour Recompression. MVR offers significant energy cost savings - and a reduction in carbon footprint - compared to the former de-alcoholization processes in the market.
GEA Wiegand also offers an efficient process for the de-alcoholization of by means of reverse osmosis membranes, under the brand GEA Filtration. These plants operate on the principle of Crossflow membrane filtration and are suited for feed rates of less than 10 hl/h. Two plant configurations are available, covering up to 5 hl/h or 10 hl/h capacities. Thanks to the low filtration temperature, the aroma and characteristic properties of the beer are maintained to a large extent.
