GEA DIOX-2 water deaeration system
The GEA DIOX-2 is a two-stage water deaeration technology that helps to achieve the lowest possible concentration of residual oxygen in your beverage water.
Oxygen in beverages can affect taste and can reduce shelf-life and product quality, so using deaerated water for beverage manufacture is important to help minimize the amount of oxygen in the final product.
GEA offers a range of water deaeration systems, and the GEA DIOX-2 represents an ideal two-stage vacuum deaeration unit for producing deaerated beverage water for both still and carbonated drinks. Dependent on your downstream process, and your expected residual oxygen value, the GEA DIOX-2 water deaeration system can be easily integrated into existing systems.
The first stage of the deaeration process extracts the bulk of the oxygen using vacuum deaeration. Next, CO2 is added in to this pre-deaerated water - to promote the release of oxygen - and the water is transferred to the second stage of the process, where the CO2-oxygen mixture is drawn out by means of a vacuum pump. A discharge pump then carries the deaerated water to the next process stage.
Sealing water consumption is reduced by the integrated temperature control and can optionally be equipped with a sealing water cooler to minimize water losses.
The system is cleaned via the product path.
The GEA carbonating system type DICAR-C has been designed for continuous high-accuracy carbonation of non-alcoholic beverages and is mainly applied in the carbonated soft drinks industry.
The GEA carbonating system type DIMIX-C has been designed for high-precision continuous mixing and carbonation of soft drinks.
GEA DICON® continuous in-line blending concept for the beverage industry.
What if your favorite chocolate didn’t require cocoa beans and your coffee was locally produced? As climate disruption, price hikes and ethical concerns hit two of our most beloved indulgences, scientists are reimagining how we produce them – using microbes, not monocultures. The goal: preserve the flavor and properties of coffee and chocolate while minimizing carbon emissions and improving food resilience.
Ports now compete not just on logistics, but on sustainability. At Greece’s Piraeus port, an advanced processing and recovery facility recycles ship waste oil into fuel. Equipped with GEA’s high-performance centrifuges, it sets a new benchmark for state-of-the-art, environmentally responsible port operations.
The 2022 CO2 shortage forced breweries to review their dependency on global supply chains. Many were forced to close, unable to carbonate their products. At its breweries in Germany, OeTTINGER GETRÄNKE is turning its own CO2 into a powerful lever for independence and sustainability – with the help of CO2 recovery technology from GEA.
