Our dealcoholisation plants are designed in a way to produce a highly dealcoholised beer as well as rectified alcohol with minimum negative side effects on beer quality. Additionally, the design is flexible regarding product flow and composition and is also well suitable for non-filtered beer. It is therefore a sustainable investment enabling a brewery to serve all current or future market trends.

Firstly, the beer is gently degassed in order to avoid foaming throughout the process. The temperature of the incoming product is adjusted in counterflow to the outgoing dealcoholised beer. In a special degassing system very low final gas levels are achieved at a pressure slightly below the boiling pressure.
The alcohol is then removed from the beer and rectified in a tray column. The column consists of two sections: a first section for stripping the alcohol out of the beer and a second section for rectifying the alcohol to the desired concentration.
