PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Premise

During the production process of Sparkling wines, large quantities of Technical Gases are used. Normally all this gas is dispersed into the atmosphere, with obvious ecological and economic damage.

The patented Galileo system allows gas to be recovered and made available for subsequent uses.

 

Rapid return on investment

The low cost of the recovery plant, combined with the lack of purchase of inert gas, allows for a rapid amortization of costs. Furthermore, recent legislation on environmental protection, which provides for a tax system, will increasingly penalize production units subject to carbon dioxide emissions in the future. By adopting a gas recovery system, it will be possible to access tax breaks that will help accelerate the return on investment.

 

How to reuse GAS in the Cellar

The carbon dioxide, stored in the autoclaves at the end of the sparkling process, can be recovered and stored at high pressure. In this way it can easily be reused for subsequent sparkling processes.

 

Ease of installation

The Galileo system consists of a carbon dioxide capture system that is installed directly on the autoclaves. Based on the calculation of the requirement, it will be decided how many tanks to provide for the capture. Galileo provides for the complete automatic recovery of the carbon dioxide, treats it to eliminate any impurities and finally stores it in special high-pressure containers.

A simple distribution system allows the carbon dioxide to be conveyed from the high-pressure vessels to the various users that the Customer intends to serve. This system can also be managed automatically.

The entire system is built on a turnkey basis by Enomet .

 

Where to recover gas

– At the end of each operation involving the isobaric transfer of the sparkling wine.

– Decanting.

– Filtration.

– Bottling.

– In all these phases it is possible to completely recover the gas that remains stored under pressure in the autoclave.

 

Initial vinification inertization

Having the Galileo system to recover Technical Gases in the Spumante production process, it is also possible to recover excess fermentation carbon dioxide and inertize all production processes with fermentation gas.

 

Ecological aspect of the process

Carbon dioxide or nitrogen are usually dispersed into the atmosphere and, at the same time, large quantities of CO2 are purchased in cylinders or to manage the practices of the isobaric production processes of sparkling wine.

These large quantities of gas are also dispersed into the atmosphere. Reusing the gas produced by fermentation reduces the amount of gas dispersed into the atmosphere, with an undoubted ecological advantage.

 

Workplace safety

The carbon dioxide in the autoclave, at the end of the production process, is dispersed in the same work environments. These environments therefore become dangerous for the Cantina staff. The recovery and reuse of the gas through ducts, designed to safely manage the entire process, allow to improve the quality of the work environment and therefore the safety conditions of the staff involved in the processes.

We design and build small, medium and large fermentation CO2 recovery systems, suitable for the needs of every type of customer.
