CO2 Recovery for Craft Breweries
CO₂mpactBrew is Pentair’s compact CO₂ recovery solution designed for smaller, craft-sized breweries. It ensures a continuous supply of beverage-grade CO₂, helping you cut costs, reduce emissions, and operate sustainably.
Benefits
- High-Purity CO₂: Liquid CO₂ purity ≥99.998% v/v, O₂ ≤5 ppm v/v, meeting ISBT and EIGA standards.
- Compact Footprint: Pre-mounted on a single 40 ft skid for easy installation and relocation.
- Plug-and-Play Design: Delivered pre-wired, pre-piped, and ready to run, fast commissioning guaranteed.
- Safe & Refrigerant-Free: Uses brewery glycol for liquefaction, no Freon or ammonia required.
- Scalable Capacity: Same footprint from day one, even as your production grows.
- Optional Containerized Solution: Ideal for breweries with limited indoor space.
- High Recovery Efficiency: Even at low inlet CO₂ purity (≥95% v/v), ensuring maximum yield.
- Robust & Reliable: Built for 24/7 operation with uptime ≥95%.

PROCESS DESCRIPTION
-
Raw foam-free fermentation gas is fed to the CO2mpactBrew system where water-soluble contaminants such as ethanol are scrubbed in the low-pressure gas washer (1) prior to it being buffered in the balloon (2).
A dry-running 3-stage CO2 compressor unit (3) increases the gas pressure to 48barg (696 psig), removing condensate in the process.
H2S is filtered after the 2nd stage (4). The remainder of the impurities and water is then removed in the high-pressure gas washer (5), respectively online drier (6).
Regeneration of the off-line drier is automatic, utilizing heating elements and dry CO2 purge gas. CO2 liquefaction takes place in the glycol-cooled condenser (8), and O2 is removed in the stripper (7).
The flash gas is led back to the 2nd stage of the CO2 compressor, whilst the purified liquid CO2 end product is fed at 15 barg (218 psig) to the onsite storage tank.
