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.

Something caught Farmer Tom's eye. Instead of another product demo, GEA showcased innovations via AR. That's only the start of GEA's interactive digital farm.
GEA scientists are working with researchers at the Graz University of Technology to configure a homogenization process and technology that turns eucalyptus pulp into 3D-printed, organic structures mimicking human veins, arteries and other tissues.
Companies like GEA process and store large amounts of sensitive data. However, security incidents, from ransomware attacks to physical intrusions and industrial espionage, are ever-expanding. GEA’s effective protection of its business partners’ data – as well as its own proprietary information – is evolving into a competitive advantage. We spoke with Iskro Mollov, GEA’s Chief Information Security Officer, about what it takes to protect a global business in a volatile world.
