BECA® Column High-Vacuum Degassing

Efficiency and Conservation of Resources

If highly efficient, reliable, and resource-efficient liquid degassing—e.g., of water for beverages—with a low residual gas content (usually O₂) is desired, the BECA® column high-vacuumdegassing system is usually the preferred choice.

The quality of process water for the food and chemical industries is subject to strict requirements. The concentrations of gases dissolved in the water—such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and ammonia—play an important role. Oxygen has an oxidative effect and accelerates microbial growth. Carbon dioxide contaminates ion-exchange systems (dissociation into the various components of carbonic acid) and leads to limit values being exceeded, e.g., in pharmaceutical-grade water. Ammonium, as an ionic component, can cause limit values in drinking water and pharmaceutical-grade water to be exceeded.

The BECA® Column High-Vacuum Eoperates on the principle of degassing under varying pressure conditions and achieves extremely low oxygen levels, usually without the use of strip gas such as CO2 or N2. With its hygienic design and CIP-compatibility, it is ideally suited for the high-quality and highly efficient degassing of liquids, for example, in the beverage, food, and chemical industries.

Lowest oxygen levels: With flawless system design and oxygen levels below 10 ppb, we guarantee you outstanding product quality.
