The MEX CO2 Recovery Process follows a simple to operate and manage system that is fully automated once established.
In addition to reducing production expenses, the retrieval of CO2 from fermentation contributes to a more environmentally friendly process, therefore resulting in decreased emissions and a smaller carbon footprint.
CO2 Retrieval process.
1. Gas Capture
Fermentation-produced raw gas undergoes capture.
4. Storage / Further uses.
The compressed gas can be further processed and converted to nitrogen through a nitrogen generator. It can also be bottled and on-sold in large or small formats.
2. Scrubbing
Gas scrubbers purify and remove alcohol and aerosols from the captured gas to 99.998% food-grade purity.
3. Pressurisation
The purified gas is then compressed and stored ready for use when needed.
