HYDROBRANE

Application

HydroBrane is an inline system for accurately managing dissolved gas concentrations in liquid products. The following applications are possible: de-aeration, de-oxygenation, carbonation, de-carbonation and nitrogenation. Concentrations increase and/or decrease and can be simultaneous. The main applications include beverage production and brewing in particular.

Operating principle

The gas adjustment chamber consists of tubular membranes with vacuum or sweep gas inside. The product flows around the membrane. The membrane provides a hydrophobic barrier which allows the gas to either diffuse into or out of the liquid. The concentration of more than one gas can be adjusted simultaneously
The operating principle is based on Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures and Henry's Law which refers to the gas concentrations depending on the partial pressure.
